A Breast Cancer Diagnosis Changes Everything...

Make the rest of their life, the best of their life.

Advocacy

Our voice is your voice. We’re not just advocates; we are fierce champions for the rights of breast cancer survivors. We work tirelessly to break down the barriers to access and care that survivors often face. Our advocacy extends to making sure that survivors of color are heard and that their unique needs are met. By driving policy changes and promoting inclusivity, we ensure that no survivor is left behind.

Community

In unity, we find strength. The FTBOU community is a place of solace, support, and belonging. We are the family you choose after a breast cancer diagnosis. Together, we share stories, lend a hand, and offer unwavering support. Our community is a safe space where survivors of all backgrounds can connect, celebrate victories, and face challenges together, ensuring no one feels isolated on their journey.

Education

We know that knowledge is power, and we equip survivors with the tools they need to not just survive; but thrive. Our educational resources cover a spectrum of topics, from understanding treatment options to managing life after cancer. We provide survivors with the information, options and guidance they need to rebuild, renew, and live life to the fullest.

Hey Baddie, Hey!

Sharon Kidd Memorial Scholarship

The Sharon Kidd Memorial Scholarship honors the legacy of Baddie Ambassador Sharon Kidd, a remarkable woman who lived her life with intention and purpose. In memory of Sharon’s spirited pursuit to make every moment count, this scholarship aims to alleviate the financial burdens cancer imposes on survivors, thrivers, and previvors. It’s more than just financial assistance—it’s a tribute to Sharon’s belief in living fully and fearlessly. By supporting the educational and personal growth endeavors of those touched by cancer, we continue Sharon’s mission to empower individuals to live their lives in purpose, on purpose.
