Join our Monthly Giving Program and Provide Support for Life-Saving Mammograms and Essentials of Daily Living

Join Ellen’s Circle. Become a bosom buddy.

A Little Every Month. A Life-Saving Impact.

Early detection saves lives in the fight against breast cancer. On the East End, the cost of a mammogram is $120. For many in our community, this is a barrier to this life-saving procedure.

When you join Ellen’s Circle as a monthly donor, you become our bosom buddy—ensuring that no one is ever turned away from the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center for lack of insurance or inability to pay for treatment.

Your Monthly Support is Powerful

  • $10/month: Funds one FREE mammogram ($120) for a woman in need

  • $30/month: Supports micro grants for essentials of daily living, like food, rent, and childcare that keep a household safe and running while a woman undergoes treatment.

  • $120/month: Provides consistent funding for Ellen’s Well psycho-social support groups and wellness programming for our Community Partners (Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreation Center, OLA, The Retreat, Shinnecock Heath Clinic).

Why Give Monthly?

  • Steady Support: Recurring gifts provide the Foundation with the reliable, predictable funding to support free mammography at the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center. 

  • A True Partnership: You are not just a donor; you are a bosom buddy alongside patients through every step of their journey.
