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

Our provide is to provide these women with a platform to lead change in their communities, prioritizing their needs and amplifying their voices. The convenings will include lay people, community leaders, advocates, healthcare professionals, stakeholders in breast cancer care and oncology, and patients with lived experience in the breast cancer community at various stages of their treatment journey and survivorship.
The mission of the RACE Alliance is to form an engagement model that ensures authentic representation and maximizes the impact of lived experiences in shaping key recommendations based on the needs of the community. Members of the RACE Alliance will attend a series of virtual convenings, which will be co-led by our pre-selected ANGEL advocates, members of the community, and key health care stakeholders.
