Our goal is to support patients undergoing cancer treatment by providing essential items in survivor kits, equipping them with the tools they need to continue their fight.
Why This Initiative is Important
This initiative is crucial because breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women, with early detection being vital to improving survival rates.
Empowerment: This event not only raises awareness about the importance of regular screenings but also empowers women with the knowledge and resources they need to take control of their health.
Community Impact: Partnering with organizations like Woman’s Hospital, Family Service of Greater Baton Rouge, and the Louisiana Cancer Society allows us to reach more individuals with life-saving services and support.
Unified Service: By providing free health screenings, including mammograms and HIV tests, we are breaking down barriers to healthcare access, particularly for underserved communities who may face financial, geographic, or informational obstacles.

Our Impact | Survivor Kits
By assembling and distributing survivor kits filled with essential items to patients undergoing cancer treatment, we offer tangible support during a critical time in their lives. These kits are more than just supplies—they are symbols of hope, community, and resilience, showing patients that they are not alone in their fight. Ultimately, this initiative is about saving lives, fostering a community of support, and ensuring that every woman has the tools she needs to face cancer with strength and dignity.
