Mission: SHARE's mission is to create and sustain a supportive community of women affected by breast or ovarian cancer and to provide the information and peer support they need to make informed medical decisions. We reach underserved communities and the general public with information about the symptoms, risks, screening and treatments for these cancers, with the goal of educating and empowering women to become their own health advocates.

Results: We're helping more people every day locally and nationally with supportive services, continually increasing the number of support groups we offer. We're reaching more states through our helpline and increasing services in underserved communities.

Target demographics: Everyone touched by breast or ovarian cancer, from diagnosis through survivorship, as well as caregivers and loved ones, and everyone seeking information about these diseases.

Direct beneficiaries per year: 32,000 people

Geographic areas served: In-person support and educational programs in metropolitan NY area and helplines available nation-wide.

Programs: All of SHARE's programs are free of charge, including toll-free helplines staffed by survivors, support groups, educational programs, and public health initiatives. SHARE provides bilingual patient navigators at two hospitals serving low-income populations, and we send breast and ovarian cancer survivors to speak to corporate employees through our Pink & Teal Seminars program. Our services are provided in English and in Spanish, and our helplines are available in 19 other languages as well.
