The Pinkwellchick Foundation, Inc. Board is proud to announce its $3,000 donation to the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery in Phoenix, Arizona.

Road to Recovery

Every day thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there.

The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people with cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves.

Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need. If you or your loved one needs a ride to treatment, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 to be matched with a volunteer, or enter your zip code below to check for programs in your area.

Donee Spotlight: Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer

10 Jun

Your donations at work!

The Pinkwellchick Foundation, Inc., Board is proud to announce its $1,000 sponsor donation to the Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer. Our founder, Barbra Watson-Riley, was a founding Board Member of CBBC.

“Learn. Share. Support. Survivor Stories.”

The Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer (CBBC) mission is to provide high quality, reliable information and support to Black breast cancer patients within the Phoenix metropolitan area, and to educate the community about breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, and screening. The CBBC is the only group within Metro Phoenix that provides information or resources specifically for Black women and men with breast cancer. The CBBC is an initiative of The Phoenix Chapter of the Links, Incorporated, Sigma Pi Phi Gamma Mu Boule, and Mayo Clinic.

Every person of African descent who is a breast cancer survivor in the Phoenix Metropolitan area will have access to high quality information, and support, and resources to assist in their breast cancer journey. Furthermore, as a result of the survivor efforts, the black population within the Phoenix Metropolitan area will become more educated about breast cancer prevention, screening, and treatment.

The Facts About Breast Cancer: What, How, Why & What to Do

Cells in the body normally divide (reproduce) only when new cells are needed. Sometimes, cells in a part of the body grow and divide out of control, which creates a mass of tissue called a tumor. If the cells that are growing out of control are normal cells, the tumor is called benign (not cancerous). If however, the cells that are growing out of control are abnormal and don’t function like the body’s normal cells, the tumor is called malignant (cancerous).

Cancers are typically named after the part of the body from which they originate. Breast cancer originates in the breast tissue. Like other cancers, breast cancer can invade and grow into the tissue surrounding the breast. It can also travel to other parts of the body and form new tumors, a process called metastasis.
