The Fuchsia Foundation offers guidance and original products and funds innovative advocacy programs to help those with cancer and the people who love them. Founded by Leslie S. Ries, a breast cancer survivor, and her family, the foundation also produces greeting cards and other products that empower and encourage people with cancer as they take on the biggest challenge of their lives.

 

Kids Konnected's mission is to provide friendship, understanding, education, and support for the children who have a parent with cancer, or have lost a parent to cancer. Kids Konnected was developed on the premise that when a parent gets cancer, the entire family is affected and the needs of the children must be addressed. Eleven year old Jon Wagner-Holtz established Kids Konnected in 1993 after his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.

 

The Red Devils is a Maryland charitable organization inspired by the courage, grace and humor of two young women, Jessica Cowling and Ginny Schardt, who refused to be defined by their disease. The organization funds services to improve quality of life for breast cancer patients and their families (house cleaning, transportation, meals, etc).
