2for2 Boobs logo

2for2 Boobs

2for2 Boobs, Inc. is a grassroots breast cancer awareness to action nonprofit. Our mission is to help to save lives from breast cancer by educating, engaging and empowering women, men and teens of color to know their risk and preventive factors, address barriers and disparities to allow for managing their health proactively for better outcomes.

2for2Boobs is a call out to take 2 minutes 2 check your 2 monthly—a reminder to do it monthly and that it only takes just two minutes to do. The organization was founded by a 3X breast cancer survivor to thriver who was able to detect her cancer early from conducting self-breast exams due to her family genetic breast cancer history. 2for2 Boobs is dedicated towards providing culturally relevant and relatable education about black breast cancer along with information and resources that creatively and effectively educate, engage and empower. Our programs are designed to provide not just awareness but move it to action with engaging survivorship outreach programs that empower both women and men diagnosed with breast cancer giving them a voice and opportunities to advocate by sharing their powerful stories that educate, inspire and to bring hope and healing.

A Cure in Sight Logo

A Cure in Sight

A Cure In Sight™ was founded to provide patient support services for Ocular Melanoma eye cancer patients. Ocular Melanoma (OM), also known as Uveal Melanoma, is the most common primary cancer of the eye in adults. Our patient population is unique in that our numbers are small with only an estimated 2,500 new diagnoses (US) per year. This alone has gained us “rare cancer status”.

The prognosis for those patients diagnosed with ocular melanoma can be dire. At this time, half of those diagnosed with OM will see their disease spread to other parts of the body. And, once metastasized, it is nearly always fatal. Currently there is no cure for metastatic ocular melanoma. There are, however, promising new treatments being prescribed, as well as new clinical trials and targeted therapies being proposed. These emerging treatment opportunities will only be made possible through research funding. Unfortunately, funding dollars are critically low. Grants for funding are rare and the competition is fierce. Therefore, we rely on private and corporate funding to fuel our programs and services.

A Cure in Sight (ACIS) helps provide services nationwide through building public awareness, educating OM patients and their caregivers, funding on-going eye cancer research, and by financially helping in-need OM patients find and pay for the treatments they need. However, funding is greatly needed for us to continue fulfilling our mission.

ACIS is uniquely positioned to serve the OM patient population. And this is why our mission is so valuable to our community. Our actions have awarded us with an open door to many of the top ocular medical physicians and oncologists in the nation. We support each other and we are fighting every day for a cure. If you are newly diagnosed, we welcome you and encourage you to tell your story. ACIS was founded by patients, run by patients, and staffed completely by volunteers, their families, and their friends.

Black Myeloma Health by HealthTree Foundation

Black Myeloma Health by HealthTree Foundation for Multiple Myeloma is aimed at increasing awareness, education, outreach, and advocacy in our Black communities. We offer help and support for those who are on this myeloma journey, a blood cancer that African Americans are 2-3 times more likely to develop and generally present with 4 years younger than their Caucasian counterparts. African Americans also have a higher incidence of the precursor condition MGUS. African American lives are part of the Myeloma tapestry and these lives are equally important, however long-standing disparities in the medical field serve as barriers for Blacks from a myeloma diagnosis through treatment. Due to long-standing healthcare disparities and inequities, outcomes are not always optimal due to misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and less aggressive treatments. Lack of access to a number of new therapies and stem cell transplantation options will often preclude Black patients from receiving optimal medical care. Our programs are created with these barriers in mind. We highlight the Kwanzaa principle “Ujima” which means Collective Work & Responsibility – building and maintaining our community together to make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems and to solve them together. We are stronger together!

We envision a future in which we can prevent and/or eliminate the primary causes of death and disability in people with FA, enabling them to live full and productive lives. To us, the best way to do this is by funding research.

Donations have helped us advance FA science more rapidly than ever thought possible. For example, no FA genes had been identified in 1989. Today, 23 genes have been discovered. Hematopoietic cell transplant success rates for FA patients have risen from 0% in 1989 to over 90% in transplant centers that specialize in Fanconi anemia. Now, our focus is on preventing and treating cancer, since individuals with FA are 500-700 times more likely to develop cancer than people without FA.
