Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamps are sold at Post Offices throughout the year. More than one billion stamps have been sold since its inception in 1998, raising more than $87.8 million for breast cancer research.

Carol City Branch Sales and Services Associate (SSA) Joyce Stiles is credited with stamp sales that totaled $11,202.75. This accomplishment ranks Stiles as one of the top 25 SSAs in Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp sales in the country.

In addition to the Breast Cancer Research stamp, the Postal Service offers two other fundraising stamps.
