Their Goal Cooper says the organization works toward making healthcare more accessible for people and patients, “regardless of where they live, what they look like, and their socioeconomic status.”“Our vision is really to ensure that a cancer diagnosis doesn’t ignite fear, but moves toward hope,” she says.Services They Provide The foundation has several programs to educate, support, and advocate for people who’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer and their caregivers.ANGEL Advocacy Program This program trains patients, survivors, and caregivers in breast cancer law, teaching them how to be their own advocates, and empowering them to speak up in their communities on a state, local, and federal level in order to make lasting change, according to Cooper.Clinical Trials This program encourages women to participate in breast cancer research. Hope Box This program sends care packages containing educational materials, beauty products, and more to women going through treatment. “We don’t have it limited to something like, ‘You have to be in active treatment,’ because there are people who are survivors who also need financial support,” Cooper says.Events For the past four years, the foundation has hosted its Young Women’s Breast Health Day on the Hill, where breast cancer patients, survivors, experts, and supporters get together on Capitol Hill to advocate for better resources and care related to breast health. This event usually takes place in March.Their Pure Cat Initiative features virtual classes focused on movement and mindfulness. They’re offered each day of the week and feature various types of programming, including yoga and Zumba. The classes are free for patients, caregivers, and anyone else who wants to participate.You can find a schedule of their classes, as well as the rest of their upcoming events, on their events page.Core Belief“Our motto within the organization is to be heart centered and patient driven in everything that we do,” Cooper says.
