The Touch Black Breast Cancer Alliance is partnering with The 2023 Pink Awards as an official community partner. The Touch Black Breast Cancer Alliance is an organization assisting in driving the collaborative efforts of patients, survivors, advocates, advocacy organizations, health care professionals, researchers and pharmaceutical companies to work collectively, with accountability, towards the common goal of eradicating Black Breast Cancer.

“I started hosting pink events while I was still in treatment to educate everyone about early African American detection and effective cancer prevention practices. I also wanted to encourage cancer warriors to keep their faith while fighting the greatest battle of their lives. I am truly blessed to have my community supporting me in this endeavor and being a part of the next level of The Pink Awards.” - April Love, Founder and Executive Producer of The Pink Awards.
