Purpose and Passion In Pink!
Empowering Women To Live Their Best Lives Through Breast Cancer Awareness
Launched in the spring of 2016, Purpose and Passion in Pink! is a faith-based community education program designed to increase the knowledge of breast cancer prevention, screening, and treatment through local community events for African-American and Latina women. This signature program of the Renewing Health Foundation is designed to increase knowledge of breast cancer prevention, screening, and treatment, and increase mammography screening rates, through local community events. These events include free community luncheons featuring leading breast cancer specialists and survivors, health fair presentations and seminars, and a micro-grant program to support local initiatives. Since the inception of this program, more than 1,000 women have benefited from this program, and over $30,000 has been raised for breast cancer awareness education.
