Un título extraño, lo sabemos. Dado que el censo reciente y las estadísticas económicas muestran que las Latinas están iniciando empresas a un ritmo seis veces mayor a la tasa nacional, combinado con el hecho de que van quiebran a una tasa mayor que otros grupos, nosotros desde The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce consideramos que nuestra misión es ayudar a garantizar su éxito.
En orden de lograr su éxito, necesitamos asegurar su salud. En estos momentos el cáncer de seno es la principal causa de muerte por cáncer—entre las latinas—de acuerdo a la American Cancer Society. Por esta razón, tenemos una doble misión: proteger a nuestra gente Y ayudarlos a crear y desarrollar empresas exitosas. Para esto iniciamos nuestra campaña de donación para la investigación y concientización sobre el Cáncer de Seno. Durante un período limitado estaremos donando $1 por cada “Me Gusta” en Facebook.
Además, estamos ofreciendo un año de membresía GRATIS a quienes nos ayuden a apoyar esta causa. Envíenos un e-mail a: Membership@NPRChamber.org, o agregue su nombre y e-mail en nuestra página de Facebook.
Esté atento a las actualizaciones sobre cómo vamos a ayudar al crecimiento de nuestras empresas, para hacer más prospera a nuestra comunidad, lo cual ayudará a nuestras familias a estar juntas, y, a su vez nos permitirá tener vidas más felices y saludables… Ayúdenos, nos ayudaremos unos a otros.

A strange heading, we know. But given that recent census and business statistics show that Latinas are opening businesses at six times the national rate, combined with the fact that they fail at a higher rate than other groups’ businesses, we at The Nat’l Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce see it as our mission to help ensure their success.
In order to ensure their success, we need to ensure their health. Right now Breast Cancer is the leading cause of cancer death according to the American Cancer Society. For this reason, we see ours as a dual mission: protect our people AND help them develop and grow successful businesses. That is why we kicked off our campaign to donate to Breast Cancer Research and Awareness. For a limited time we are donating $1 for every “like” on Facebook.
In addition, we are offering FREE 1-year memberships to all who help support this cause. Just send us an email: Membership@NPRChamber.org, or attach your name and email on our Facebook page.
Stay tuned for updates on how we are going to help our businesses grow, so that we can help our communities prosper, which will help our families stay together, and, in turn will allow us all to live happier and healthier lives . . . Help us, help each other.

The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with JetBlue Airways to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

According to the Intercultural Cancer Council:
Even though Hispanic women have lower rates of breast cancer (69.8 per 100,000) compared to non-Hispanic White women or Black
women (111.8 and 95.4 respectively), breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanics.
Although Hispanics have managed to maintain lower rates of breast cancer, it is quite humbling to know that it is still the leading cause of cancer deaths among Hispanics!
Help us support breast cancer research, awareness, and treatment for Hispanics, so that we can all live healthier, happier lives!
We are looking for 500 people to donate just $5. Any donation will be accepted, but if you can only donate $5 you will still help us reach our goal!
