Sorry, don't know if they are accepting specifically for bc, but my friend Judy in Houston set this up when she was dx'd with brain mets. She died from combined progression and her body was indeed donated for research.

It's a very courageous, generous act in my opinion. I couldn't do it.

From what I've read, it seems that some cancer statistics and things to do with cancer are gleaned for any body that is donated for research.

For example, brain mets at time of death is common, yet undiagnosed during the persons life.
