2016 Amgen Tour of California

Amgen returns as the title sponsor for the 11th consecutive year, continuing to leverage the race to raise awareness of the important resources available to people affected by cancer and cardiovascular disease through two national campaigns. The newest initiative Breakaway from Heart Disease(TM) encourages Americans to take charge of their heart health by understanding their family’s history of heart disease and getting active through cycling.

The Breakaway from Cancer® initiative, founded in 2005, aims to increase awareness of important resources available to people affected by cancer – from prevention through survivorship. Breakaway from Cancer is a collaboration between Amgen and four nonprofit partner organizations: Prevent Cancer Foundation, Cancer Support Community, Patient Advocate Foundation, and National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. These organizations offer a broad range of support services complementing those provided by a patient’s team of healthcare professionals.
