Make plans now to join us for VBCF’s 2026 State Breast Cancer Advocacy Day in Richmond at the Virginia General Assembly. Meet fellow advocates, learn about the legislative process, and meet with state lawmakers about legislation important to breast cancer patients. 

No previous experience is needed. Your perspective and passion for ending breast cancer are all you need to help make a difference! VBCF provides transportation to and from the General Assembly from the VBCF Richmond office, light refreshments, and an optional lunch afterwards. 

Orientation & Briefing: VBCF will host a virtual pre-advocacy day orientation and briefing (date TBD) to help participants prepare for Advocacy Day

Government in Action:  Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with state lawmakers and will be recognized on the House/Senate Floor (TBD).
