What We Do
Organizational Goals
- To educate women 25-40 that breast cancer is not just for older women.
- To increase the number of women completing monthly breast self checks.
- To increase the number of women completing regular clinical breast exams at their healthcare provider visits.
- To provide community, information, and encouragement.
Our Success in 2020-23
- Provided community grants to West Cancer Foundation to support underserved communities for testing and patient care.
- Distributed more than 45,000 shower-hanger cards across America - partnering with Ryan and Rose, West Cancer Foundation, Christ Community Health Systems, UTHS, Memphis Health Dept., etc.
- Spoke at events (Slalom's Golf Tournament, CityCurrent SPARK Show, West Cancer Center, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital Nurse-Family Partnership, and more) - sharing Keesha's story, our story, and the importance of early detection.
What We Have Planned
- Work through our partners to provide additional community grants to support women who cannot afford cancer screening.
- Partner with like-minded nonprofits.
- Create and distribute innovative reminders for monthly breast self-checks and annual clinical check-ups (working on a web/mobile phone reminder app and text messaging application).
- Speak at events - sharing Keesha's story and the importance of early detection. If you have access to groups where our story is appropriate, please contact us directly at info@warriorprincess.org. Examples: women's groups, men's groups, conventions, universities, local media outlets, and national media. And yes, our dream is to be on the Today Show!
- Please let us know if you have other ideas for how we can engage in your community.
