This is done by collecting scarves & stories from cancer survivors and passing them on to others in treatment. Since 2012, over 35,000 Hope Scarves have been shared with people facing over 90 types of cancer in every state and 36 countries. Hope Scarves also invests in metastatic breast cancer research – raising and investing $1.24 million dollars since 2016 in basic, translational, and clinical research.
Caroline Johnson, Founder and CEO of Twisted Pink, transformed a stage III ER+ breast cancer diagnosis into a national non-profit organization to provide hope and fill the gap in research for late-stage breast cancer patients. Twisted Pink’s mission is to provide hope and connection to people living with metastatic breast cancer by funding bold breakthroughs in research and awareness of the disease.
