ABOUT
Who We Are
Fighting Together to Save Lives is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting breast cancer survivors through education, advocacy, community partnerships, and access to life-saving resources.
Our Mission
To educate, empower, and support individuals and families impacted by breast cancer through outreach, survivorship programs, community partnerships, and financial assistance.
Our Vision
To celebrate the lives of breast cancer survivors in the community, one survivor at a time, while increasing awareness that early detection saves lives.
Walking in Truth
Every October, we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and honor the strength, courage, and resilience of survivors.
Breast cancer affects individuals from all backgrounds, yet women in the BIPOC community face a mortality rate that is 28.1% higher than the overall population. This disparity highlights the critical need for awareness, early detection, education, and equitable access to healthcare.
At Fighting Together to Save Lives, we believe that a diagnosis is not a death sentence. Through advocacy, community outreach, and support services, we work to ensure that survivors and their families have access to the resources they need.
Together, we honor those who have battled breast cancer, celebrate those who continue to thrive, and remain committed to saving lives through education, hope, and early detection.

Jackie's Story
At 24, I faced uterine cancer. At 39, I was diagnosed with Stage IIIB breast cancer. What began as a personal battle became a calling to help others facing the same journey. Through Fighting Together to Save Lives, I have dedicated my life to providing hope, resources, education, and support to survivors and their families.
