The Pink Ribbon Club Foundation promotes the formation of high school based Pink Ribbon Clubs. We provide support, resources, education and imagination for the clubs to:
 |
Increase teen awareness |
|
|
Provide community service opportunities |
|
|
Raise funds in the fight against breast cancer |
|
The first Pink Ribbon Club was founded at University High School in Irvine, California, in 2002 by two sisters whose mother was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. They found few sources of education, awareness and support specifically targeting teenagers. In forming the club, they created a forum to educate their peers about breast cancer, volunteer in the breast cancer community and raise funds for support and research.
Following on the success of the first club, the Pink Ribbon Club Foundation was formed to expand this vision and start clubs at other schools. The Foundation promotes club formation and serves as a central point of contact. We mentor club leadership, provide educational programs and resources, coordinate and enhance communication between the clubs and facilitate activities involving local support organizations and other non-profit foundations, physicians and businesses.

We are currently expanding our clubs in Orange County and across the country. Please see our Home Page for more information on starting your own club or to donate to our foundation. Please contact us if you have any questions.
