Agency-specific Content for the Notice of Funding Opportunity
A. Program Description
On July 6, 2005, PA 94-0120 was signed into law, creating the Illinois Ticket for the Cure instant lottery
ticket. Net revenue from the sale of this ticket goes to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH),
Office of Women’s Health and Family Services, which awards grants to public and private entities in
Illinois for the purpose of funding breast cancer research, education, and services for breast cancer
survivors.
For the FY27 Carolyn Adams Ticket for the Cure Grant Program, grants will be given to organizations to
conduct work that promotes equity in breast cancer outcomes with educational and informational
programs in their community through outreach activities and events. Outreach activities could include,
but not be limited to:
 Breast health and cancer prevention educational programs to businesses, community groups, or
individuals in the community.
 Health and wellness fairs.
 Educating students, businesses, the community at large and others about breast health.
In addition, IDPH is seeking applications where breast cancer mortality rates are the highest, so this work
may make the greatest impact. All applications are welcome and will be accepted statewide, but we are
highly encouraging organizations within the following counties to apply: Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kankakee,
Peoria and St. Clair Counties. According to the University of Illinois Cancer Center and the Illinois State
Cancer profile rankings, African American Women experience a higher mortality rate form breast cancer
than other races. The Illinois Department of Public Health and the Carolyn Adams Advisory Committee
recognize this disparity must be addressed, so are encouraging organization in the counties (Cook,
DuPage, Kane, Kankakee, Peoria and St. Clair) with the highest mortality rates to apply for this grant
funding.
Program Details:
The OWHFS and the Carolyn Adams Ticket for the Cure Advisory Board recognize that breast cancer is
the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and sometimes affects men, as well. Awareness and
education regarding early detection needs to be increased in every community, especially for low-
income, underserved, and under/uninsured women with special emphasis on reaching those who are
geographically or culturally isolated, older, and/or members of racial/ethnic minorities.
The OWHFS and the Ticket for the Cure Advisory Board have established the following goals and
strategies to meet their mission:
a) Encourage healthier lifestyles among Illinois women by promoting activities that will increase
awareness of breast cancer risk factors.
b) Increase knowledge about the risks of breast cancer by sponsoring educational programs focusing
on breast cancer awareness and screening.
c) Improve communication and collaboration among OWHFS and other consumer and advocacy
groups and health professionals by providing technical support and facilitating public/private
partnerships.
d) Identify the unmet needs of breast cancer victims by enhancing data collection efforts focusing on
Illinois women.
e) Advocate for better public health policy on matters affecting women’s health by serving as a
resource on women’s health issues to public policy makers and by monitoring and analyzing
proposed state and federal legislation that impacts women’s health.

Program Goals per the Workplan:
 Increase awareness of breast cancer among the target population through community outreach,
public information, and fairs and events.
 Improve knowledge on the incidence of breast cancer, the risk factors, prevention measures and
screening resources in the target population.
 Increase the number of high-risk populations who will receive breast cancer screening.
 Provide support services to women who receive abnormal screening results and link them to
quality treatment and care and connect them to the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program or
Women’s Health Line.
Program Activities must include the following for outreach events:
1) Number and types of events:
a) in-person, virtual events, social media campaigns, etc.
b) Where the event was located:
i) zip code.
ii) location specifics such as school, community center, church, walk/run, etc.
c) Priority population reached:
i) White/Caucasian, African American, Asian, etc.
ii) language(s) spoken.
d) Materials used to promote events and to distribute breast health and cancer education and
information.
2) Number of individuals reached per event.
3) Number of individuals connected to the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program or Women’s
Health Line.
Other optional metrics (participants may not want to disclose these data):
a) Age
b) Language
c) Race/ethnicity
The Illinois Department of Public Health places health equity as a top priority. Health equity is the “basic
principle of public health that all people have a right to health”. Health equity exists when all people can
achieve comprehensive health and wellness despite their social position or any other social
factors/determinants of health. Most health disparities affect groups marginalized because of
socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, disability status, geographic location, or
some combination of these. People in such groups not only experience worse health but also tend to
have less access to the social determinants or conditions (e.g., healthy food, good housing, good
education, safe neighborhoods, disability access and supports, freedom from racism and other forms of
discrimination) that support health…. Health disparities are referred to as health inequities when they
are the result of the systematic and unjust distribution of these critical conditions. The department’s
efforts are committed to addressing health through an equity lens by empowering communities who
have been historically marginalized and developing intervention strategies with the end goal of
furthering health equity among all Illinoisans.
