RALLYING AROUND COMMUNITY AND EQUITY – collectively known as The RACE Alliance. The mission of the RACE Alliance is to harness the collective wisdom and experience of breast cancer survivors across America to drive equitable access to breast cancer solutions and create systemic change by developing and advancing key cancer priorities.
The RACE Alliance unites 50 breast cancer survivors (ANGEL Advocates) representing all 50 U.S. states in a powerful coalition dedicated to addressing disparities in breast cancer care, research, and innovation.
These ANGELS are not merely advisors but the driving force behind all of the Alliance’s initiatives. With their lived experience and perspectives forming the cornerstone of every decision and by drawing on their firsthand knowledge, RACE Alliance members focus particularly on high-risk areas affecting women’s health.
The Alliance will convene alongside the ANGELS through a mixed-methods approach to develop 3-5 key recommendations that representatives can implement in their respective states, ensuring that breast cancer survivor voices remain central throughout the process.
