ANGEL (Advocate Now to Grow, Empower and Lead) Advocate Community
Join our community of ANGELs for Support, Education, and Inspiration.
Have you been affected by breast cancer, either as a patient, a caregiver, or an ally? Tigerlily Foundation has a free program that will teach you how to advocate for yourself and/or your loved ones. Tigerlily’s ANGEL Advocates have found a supportive community through this program.
Through ANGEL Advocacy training, you will gain the knowledge and tools to effectively manage a cancer experience, make informed decisions, and advocate for yourself and others.
Our ANGELS are at the forefront of the charge to transform health outcomes for Black and Brown women, dismantle disparities, and achieve health equity for all. ANGELs inform decision makers on how they are educated and represented within the patient, policymaking, provider, research and scientific communities. We work with patients and stakeholders in communities with the highest breast cancer death rates for Black and Brown women.
The training is virtual, over five weeks for one to two hours per week. Don’t wait—click the form link below and join the ANGEL community today!
ANGELs who complete the initial self-advocacy training will have the opportunity to take additional trainings to work on the following:
- Clinical Trials and Research
- Education and Outreach
- Peer Support and Navigation
- Policy
