The Manhasset Women’s Coalition Against Breast Cancer (MWCABC) is an all-volunteer, charitable organization founded to unite the women of Manhasset, Long Island in the fight against breast cancer.
MWCABC’s mission is to fund innovative research, increase awareness through education and provide support services to those with breast cancer and related diseases.
MWCABC participates in various fundraisers throughout the year and hosts several signature events, including our Ladies’ Night Out, 5K Family Walk/Run and “Mix & Mingle” couples event.

2019 Holiday Gift Bags for Women Veterans
Working Women of Manhasset partnered this year with the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 304 (Manhasset) to prepare 50 Holiday gift bags for the female veterans who attend the Northport VA Hospital Women’s Wellness Center. Nine committee members from both organizations shopped for and packed the bags with personal care items, in addition to chocolates, cookies and holiday card greetings. These bags were delivered to the Northport VA Medical center earlier in December. Each woman attending the Center during the month of December will receive a gift bag in recognition of her valued service.
Please email Sue Neville or call her at 516-424-2822, if you would like to participate in future collaborative events for our Women Veterans.
