We are all too familiar with the publicity and promotion of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Together, let's take it a step further!  Our generous partners have joined us by hosting events and fundraisers throughout October to benefit Tigerlily Foundation so that we may continue to serve young women before, during and after breast cancer. You may participate too at these events!  It is our hope that communities and individuals would share our commitment and desire to make a difference in the lives of young women facing the challenges of treatment, acceptance of their new bodies thereafter, and a future where 1 in 3 breast cancer survivors will become metastatic.  Let's come together, and choose to participate this month by volunteering, attending an event, sponsoring a program, organizing a fundraiser, educating others, advocating for more research, or simply by donating so that Tigerlily may continue to be a voice for the breast cancer community.

Thank you to our partners!

Tigerlily Foundation is one of the premier global organizations providing education, awareness, advocacy, empowerment and transformational programs to girls, young women, breast cancer survivors, metavivors and caregivers - before, during and after breast cancer. Our programs impact young women of diverse ethnic backgrounds, underserved communities and those facing health disparities. Our programs also incorporate spirituality, holistic health, prevention, wellness, support and survivorship programs to help you live your best life and to embrace the "new you" after diagnosis. 

This month, our MY (Metastatic Young) LIFE (Living In Focus, Empowered) podcast program features an eye-opening interview with Tigerlily friend, Shonte Drakeford, as she shares her journey as a registered nurse and Veteran's wife to metastatic breast cancer patient and advocate. Shonte uses her diagnosis as a catalyst to accept her new normal, while embracing the beauty that remains in the life she chooses to live through a new lens.  Listen to her story of beauty, strength, and transformation.  And, join us for upcoming Podcast programs!
