Young Women’s ANGEL Advocacy (Advocate Now to Grow, Empower and Lead) Program
In the U.S., breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women in their 20s and 30s, and Black women are diagnosed at younger ages and with more aggressive types of breast cancer than any other group. The Tigerlily Foundation is committed to ending breast cancer disparities that disproportionately impact the Black community by transforming lives by mobilizing our community of young people, caregivers and loved ones. With the ANGEL Advocacy Program, we focus on two foundational initiatives to mobilize this community:
UPCOMING EVENT
Training and Resources
The ANGEL Advocacy Program provides comprehensive training and access to services and resources for people of color between the ages of 21-50, who have been personally or systemically touched by the disease. ANGEL Advocates become more knowledgeable about breast cancer, and the disparities that affect this population.
Advocacy in Action
Our ANGEL Advocates become more knowledgeable about breast cancer, and the disparities that affect this population and use their time and voices to make an impact by:
- Building a trusted community of advocates
- Supporting peers through their own breast health journey
- Transforming their cancer experience as a survivor, thriver, patient or caregiver
- Fostering community engagement about health
- Participating in awareness events
- Accepting speaking opportunities
- Contributing to breast health blogs or video content
- Distributing breast health educational materials
- Being highlighted in the media
- Educating legislators to make policy change
- Advocating through their social media channels
- Engaging healthcare professionals
- Sharing patient perspective with scientific communities
Many ANGEL Advocates are directly involved with developing our programs and partnering with research and scientific communities to ensure clinical trials, studies, programs, and content are relevant to their population.
