The Women of Color Breast Cancer Survivors Support Project

Through the EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women, millions of dollars have been raised for women's cancer research, early screening, access to care, ongoing support for survivors, and prevention through education and advocacy.

Courageous women who are fighting cancer have shared their strength by creating weekly and monthly peer support groups which the EIF Revlon Run/Walk has helped fund. One such beneficiary of the Revlon Run/Walk for Women’s Los Angeles race is the Women of Color Breast Cancer Support Project.

Women of Color’s mission is to provide emotional support and crisis intervention for breast cancer survivors; to educate on breast health knowledge and knowledge of early detection methods both locally and nationally; to effect public policy and social change regarding breast health awareness, including supporting culturally sensitive research.  In a secure environment in which to begin the healing process for you and your family during and after cancer treatment as you transition to survivorship.

Created in 1993 by cancer activist Lilly Tartikoff, Revlon Chairman Ronald O. Perelman and the Entertainment Industry Foundation, the EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women has grown into the nation's largest 5K fundraising events for women challenged with breast and ovarian cancer.
