As the preeminent voice for the hereditary cancer community serving more than one million people nationwide, FORCE has a long history of mobilizing volunteers, providers, and community partners to change national legislation. Bright Pink will support FORCE as they expand their efforts to fight for legislative change at the state level through an initiative that equips a diverse cohort of volunteer advocates to increase coverage and break down barriers to care, increasing access to life-saving preventative services for women at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer.

Nueva Vida is a community organization that fills the gap for culturally sensitive cancer support services for the Latino community in the Washington-Baltimore Metro area. With the invaluable bonds of trust with their clients as the foundation and Bright Pink’s support, Nueva Vida will develop De Madres a Hijas, a first of its kind, community-based, bilingual education initiative where 1st generation Latina mothers and their 2nd generation daughters will learn together about family health history, risk, and genetic counseling and testing.

Komen, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, recently launched Stand for H.E.R. – a Health Equity Revolution, a bold nationwide program to decrease the gap in breast cancer mortality between Black and white women, beginning in the 10 U.S. metropolitan areas where the gaps are the greatest. The program focuses on addressing the underlying causes of inequities Black women face across the breast cancer care continuum with concrete actions – including increasing access to quality genetic counseling and testing. Bright Pink is supporting Komen’s long-standing Worship in Pink program as it expands to extend its reach in Houston, one of the 10 cities with the greatest disparities. The expanded Worship in Pink faith-based initiative will combat disparities in genetic counseling, testing, and preventive care by training trusted volunteer Ambassadors in the church to provide education on family health history and risk, providing free genetic counseling and testing through a trusted medical partner, and connecting families to patient navigation and financial support.

TOUCH, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance has a mission to drive the collaborative efforts of patients, survivors, advocates, advocacy organizations, health care professionals, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies to work towards the common goal of eradicating Black Breast Cancer. With Bright Pink’s support, the organization will launch a multi-pronged national "awareness to action" campaign that will educate, equip, and empower 250,000 young Black women to be proactive with their breast health.
