Who We Are
About Us
After gaining extensive experience as a lived-experience expert and patient advocate, Jasmine Souers, the founding President and CEO of The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance, recognized that greater progress could be achieved through collaboration among organizations.
Faced with the competitive nature of the breast cancer industry, Jasmine aimed to establish an organization that would foster cooperation toward shared objectives in advancing health equity. The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance forges new partnerships among community stakeholders, provides strategic consulting for better program design, research and marketing efforts, and leads an edu-tainment platform to keep the community both informed and inspired in their shared pursuit of health equity.
We believe when each link in the chain of community is both strong and supportive, the collective impact of our combined actions will bring about a better future for every person affected by breast cancer. We are the CHAINge in the business of breast cancer.
