    IMPACT REPORT 2018 Dear Friends and Supporters of Living Beyond Breast Cancer, We opened 2018 with Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) listening to the stories of women diagnosed with breast cancer. This was part of a six-month strategic focus project that included in-depth phone interviews, a large online study, and small in-person focus groups. By listening, we gained many insights of those who Connecting shared their experiences from that dark moment of first hearing the words, “You have breast cancer,” and all the other times that followed, including: the frustrations of waiting for tests, the emotions of finally receiving results, and the challenges of understanding this disease while trying to make informed decisions and manage side effects. Many also told us they gained a new appreciation for friends, family people with and colleagues who offered love and support during difficult as well as celebratory times. This Impact Report provides a glance of LBBC by the numbers. Please remember that behind each of these numbers is an individual who faces a frightening and significant health challenge. We understand trusted that our work, while broad in reach, is also deeply personal. We aim to help alleviate fear, reduce stress, and provide trusted information and support when people are feeling most afraid and alone. This is what drives us to fulfill our mission. breast cancer You are part of a large community of individuals, corporations and foundations who strongly believe in our work. Collectively, your support made it possible for Living Beyond Breast Cancer to engage 600,000 people in our educational programs, online and print resources, and in peer support communities in information 2018.
  • Distressed Projects Special Situations Call for Resourceful Thinking and Decisive Action

    Distressed Projects Special Situations Call for Resourceful Thinking and Decisive Action

    Distressed Projects Special situations call for resourceful thinking and decisive action. Some projects are too important to fail. When the best-laid plans don’t work out as intended, the borrowers, investors, and lenders behind large-scale projects must contend with changed circumstances and an imperative to move forward, even when the path ahead is unclear. Ballard Spahr attorneys have the legal background and tactical experience to realign large-scale projects that have gone sideways. We have ample work experience in distressed project finance, and have helped restructure project finance portfolios. We can help projects get back on budget, stay on schedule to meet their completion date and operational and financial obligations, and function at the level and scale that was anticipated at the outset. PROJECT FINANCE We take an integrated approach to project finance, counseling clients on the restructuring options, transactional considerations, regulatory issues, real estate and environmental issues, and litigation strategies necessary when embarking on a workout. Our Project Finance attorneys work with colleagues well-versed in key areas, such as tax, bankruptcy and capital recovery, construction and development, real estate, environmental regulation, labor and employment, governance and ownership, and government relations to devise a comprehensive strategy for bringing projects back into alignment. Our Project Finance lawyers represent developers, manufacturing companies, project companies, guarantors, investors, sponsors, lenders—including commercial banks, DFIs, MLAs, and private equity companies—municipal issuers, underwriters, and bond purchasers in bond-financed projects. We have extensive experience in project financings serving as counsel to independent power producers, federal and state governments, and government-sponsored enterprises.
