"Cancer Schmancer was created to provide cancer education and awareness," says Fran Drescher, founder of Cancer Schmancer. "Our mission is to arm women with powerful information, making them medical consumers as opposed to passive patients. We must be aware of what we are putting in our mouths, on our bodies and in our homes. If you catch it on arrival, 95 percent survival."

Brands featured on JPSelects.com pride themselves on the quality of their products and in giving back—resulting in items that are best for consumers and better for the world.  

"At JPSelects.com it's all about creating a better world," said Paolo Fidanza, CEO of JPSelects.com. "Partnering with Cancer Schmancer illustrates our promise to give back and creates sustainability awareness.  We're thrilled to support breast cancer awareness month, while also inspiring consumers to give back year round. Our hand selected retailers each have missions and admirable causes they support, so shoppers can feel good every time they make a purchase."

About Cancer Schmancer
After surviving her own experience with cancer, actress/activist visionary Fran Drescher decided to share her story so that what happened to her wouldn't happen to others. After writing her book, Cancer Schmancer, she realized the book was not the end but instead the beginning of a life mission to improve women's healthcare in America. Shortly thereafter, she founded the Cancer Schmancer Movement, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving women's lives through prevention and early detection of cancer. One in every three women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime. (www.cancerschmancer.org)
