Carrie's TOUCH is built on a strong foundation.
Our tribe represents a proud legacy, working toward for a sustainable future.
A donation of $20, $200, or $2,000 on BDOG will enable us to meet immediate needs for breast cancer survivors in 2025.
A recurring gift of $20 a month will enable us to meet immediate needs for breast cancer survivors for years to come.
Can you believe Carrie's TOUCH is turning 20 this year?
It's been 20 years of serving the community, and we are as committed to serving Black women with breast cancer as we were when we began. We continue to take bold, innovative, and progressive steps to address the 41 percent mortality disparity between Black women with breast cancer and White women with breast cancer.
This disparity has had a devastating impact on the mental and emotional well-being of Black women, their families, and their communities. Our research through Project SOAR addresses this head on, exploring the Strong Black Women Schema in connection to a breast cancer diagnosis. In the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, “We are sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
Our Tribe represents a proud legacy, working toward a sustainable future.
As we look to the next twenty years, we are reimagining not only who we are, but how we are changing the narrative about Black women. Which is why in 2026, we are focusing on celebrating the 59% of Black women who do survive the dreaded dis-ease.
We know that Black women can and do live well. This includes breast cancer survivors.
Every donation supports us in forging a future where Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are no longer disproportionately impacted.
Let’s rewrite the narrative to ensure that equity, health, and hope are realities for all.
Our mission: To humanize the Black woman and her experience with breast cancer
Our vision: To Save More Black Women
Whether or not you're new to the Carrie's TOUCH family, it is no secret that Black women are dying of breast cancer at a 41% higher rate than White women. What you may not know is this statistic hasn't changed in over 20 years. It's time to ask ourselves why.
At Carrie's TOUCH, we humanize the Black woman and her experience with breast cancer through T.E.A.R.S. - technology, education and awareness, advocacy, research, and survivor support.
We know that Black women are more likely to have poorer quality-of-life outcomes after a diagnosis of breast cancer. So, our first priority has always been to serve our women.
This Big Day of Giving, Carrie’s TOUCH is focusing our fundraising efforts to raise money for our Education and Awareness Programs and our Rapid Response Programs.
Since BDOG 2020, the focus of Carrie's TOUCH's Big Day of Giving fundraising efforts is to raise funds for our Survivor Support and Rapid Response programs. Funds raised
Supporting survivors is why we do what we do. Rapid Response funds raised enable us to offer resources for mental and emotional wellbeing, and to address basic needs such as housing, food, transportation, medical co-pays, utilities, and more.
We can't do this alone. Now more than ever, it takes a village to support those in need. Our goal is to serve those in need for generations to come.
Call To Action: Make Sense of Giving
