Helping Families Fight Breast Cancer
ABOUT ASOP
GIVE THE GIFT OF CARING & SUPPORT. Consider a donation to All Shades of Pink. Many families fighting breast cancer are having trouble making ends meet while undergoing radiation or chemotherapy treatment. Your donation can make the difference between choosing to keep the lights on or buy medication, provide food for the family or transportation to attend the treatment sessions. BE ONE generous donor to HELP ONE family during a difficult time. Donate today.
All Shades of Pink, Incorporated is a Maryland non-profit 501(c)3 corporation founded in the summer of 2007. The mission of All Shades of Pink is to assist women (and their families) diagnosed with breast cancer with resource referrals, non-medical advice and/or emergency financial assistance during their treatment period. We seek to provide assistance with physical, emotional or financial situations that they may encounter while battling breast cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society over 200,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. All Shades of Pink believes that various acts of kindness help in reducing the stress that breast cancer families may experience. Our purpose is to perform acts of kindness to as many breast cancer families as we can reach.
We invite you to support our mission by making a donation, volunteering in one of our programs, and/or sharing your story of strength and encouragement. Together we can stand strong in the fight against breast cancer.
