Our Mission and Programs
Giving With Purpose
The proceeds from our various fundraising campaigns and donations from our sponsors are used to support cancer survivors in underserved communities in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. We strive to educate women under 50 of the importance of early detection especially if there is a family history of cancer. The death rate of women in this age demographic has continued to rise and Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women next to lung cancer.
Financial Assistance
Our financial assistance program aims to aide survivors by donating funds funds to offset the cost of utilities, mortgage/rent, transportation, and other household financial obligations.
Assistance with Mammography Costs
We donate to pay for 3D mammograms for patients (men or women) who are uninsured or underinsured in underserved communities in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
Our Community Outreach
Our team attends and volunteers at community events that promote the importance of Cancer Awareness, early detection education, and annual mammogram and health screenings.
Our Mother's and Survivor Appreciation Brunch
We host appreciation events for friends and family of our annual fashion event. It is important for us to keep in touch with the survivors who have participated in our events. A sisterhood has evolved from their involvement with the annual fashion event.
Help Our Cause
Your contribution will help us provide financial assistance to organizations who offer free mammogram screening for uninsured patients, breast cancer treatment, wellness and education programs, transportation services, and financial support for survivors who struggle to pay their personal financial obligations.

The Rebirth of Style "T.R.O.S."
The "Runway for a Cure DC" Fashion Show is partnering with the 16th Annual Official Pink & White Affair again this year to bring a fashion showcase to the affair
Our mission is to celebrate Breast Cancer Survivors, encourage family and friends of those affected by Breast Cancer, and to give back to individuals or organizations who support Breast Cancer Research, Awareness, and Survivors!
My father passed away from complications due to his prostate cancer treatment. My mother selected one of the best family health insurance plans, before her retirement, which removed any financial stress from our family during my father's treatment. This made it easy for us to focus on his treatment and care (instead of medical bills).
So many cancer patients don't have adequate health insurance coverage and it is difficult to pay for the medications, reconstructive surgeries, and even everyday expenses.
We want to help make a difference in the lives of those who need screening, education, treatment, transportation, or just help with their monthly bills.
