Our History:
Recognizing the need for cancer awareness education in the Black community, FWAACA,
the brainchild of Bonnie Feldkamp, Bernita Flye, Connie Ford, R.N., Patrice Masbaum, and
the late Karla White, was formed in 1996. NBLIC, a national organization, was sought out for
funding and guidance on how to form an alliance. It became our model on initiating cancer
education, prevention, and early detection to Black populations.
