The Pink Fund provides 90-day non-medical cost-of-living expenses for breast cancer patients in active treatment.
About us
While fighting for their lives, many breast cancer patients in active treatment lose their livelihoods. Unable to work, patients often face catastrophic financial losses. The Pink Fund, founded in 2006 by breast cancer survivor, Molly MacDonald, who experienced this herself, provides individuals in active treatment with up to 90 days of financial assistance to cover non-medical expenses, such as health insurance premiums, housing, transportation and utilities. The Pink Fund helps to meet basic needs and decrease stress levels, helping breast cancer patients strengthen their fight to improve survivorship outcomes and quality of life.

The Pink Fund reposted this
As we bid farewell to 2024 and welcome 2025, the poignant words of the Scottish poem by Robert Burns echo worldwide: "Should old acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot In the days of auld lang syne?" Reflecting on these lyrics, I am reminded of the crucial mission work undertaken by The Pink Fund. Each year in the US, over 40,000 women and 500 men succumb to the insidious nature of breast cancer, a disease that can lie dormant only to resurface aggressively. The term "survivor" took on new meaning for me upon diagnosis, leading to the birth of "SurThrivor" - someone to be remembered, not forgotten. Research stands as the cornerstone of progress towards a cure, akin to the strides made in past decades. Yet, there remains a long road ahead. Through my involvement with esteemed organizations National Breast Cancer Coalition University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design, American Cancer Society National Breast Cancer Roundtable and Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance I witness firsthand the collective efforts to revolutionize healthcare outcomes. Amidst losses and challenges, Pink Fund remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment. By alleviating financial burdens through bill payments and community initiatives, we strive to ensure uninterrupted care for those in need. The impact of our assistance programs is profound, offering relief and stability during a tumultuous time. As we conclude this year, the imperative to remember, to persist in our endeavors, and to advance towards enhanced outcomes remains paramount. Let us continue to push the boundaries, advocate for change, and uphold the values of compassion and progress in the fight against breast cancer. Let's continue to link arms together, knowing that together we are stronger, while not forgetting those whose lives were lost to this disease. #BreastCancerAwareness #ResearchMatters #SupportSurvivors #
