Cancer Kinship hasn't added a story.
THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR FASHION SHOW EVENT PAGE!
Our fashion show premier on Saturday, June 26th was the official launch of our summer fundraising campaign! Throughout the summer, we are encouraging our "Kinner Circle" (Cancer Kinship community) to watch the show in support of our AMAZING and inspirational cancer survivor models who worked hard to create a fun and engaging fashion experience. By watching the show, you will help us accomplish three very important goals: 1) Raise awareness about our programs and services, 2) Bring the community together, virtually, for a shared fashion experience, and 3) Raise much-needed funds.
Our summer fundraising goal is $15,000 by August 31st which will support our community resource navigation program, survivor empowerment workshops and our new free wig program called "Kinner Beauty." To learn more about our programs and services, please click here and check out last month's e-newsletter and visit our website at www.cancerkinship.org. Thanks for your consideration and support!
About The Show
Our 2nd Annual Brave, Bold & Boundless virtual fashion show, features seven cancer warrior models! Our show is mission-aligned and designed to empower our models, inspire hope, and bring the community together.
What Does A Fashion Show Have To Do With Cancer?
Cancer Kinship combined fashion with survivor empowerment and that's how this event was born. In preparation for the fashion show, we engaged our models in biweekly empowerment activities and workshops that were designed to build their confidence and self-esteem. Our models participated in the fashion show orientation, where they had an opportunity to meet each other, share their personal cancer stories, and connect with fellow warriors. Our models worked with a professional fashion show coordinator who volunteered her time to help our models become runway-ready, from the safety of their own homes. They captured wonderful footage of the enter experience and we will share the final fashion show experience with our community throughout the summer!
Behind the Scenes Sneak Peek
Videos of the model empowerment activities were captured throughout the entire experience and were stitched together in a high-energy virtual fashion show video that viewers can enjoy from the comfort of their own homes. The event features model stories, partner messages and viewers will learn about our mission, vision and goals as our organization continues to grow. Viewers will get a behind-the-scenes sneak peak of the outfits that the models selected, which will generate excitement for the main fashion event that will be set to heart pounding, energizing and inspirational music, and will end with a message of hope and gratitude from our event hostess, 14-year breast cancer survivor, Yoli Origel, Executive Director of Cancer Kinship.
Together, we can transform fear into hope. Will you join our efforts?

OUR CANCER KINSHIP STORY - Click here to watch our Cancer Kinship Story.
Hi, my name is Yoli and I'm a 14-year Stage 3 breast cancer survivor. I'm also the Executive Director and Founder of Cancer Kinship. I'm coming to you today as someone with a unique understanding of cancer patient and survivor needs. Not only did I fight my own cancer battle, but I also experienced cancer in two very personal ways: as a 10-year old child whose mother valiantly battled metastatic breast cancer and most recently, my sister battled metastatic breast cancer as well. My personal cancer experience, along with serving as a patient mentor for newly diagnosed patients at my cancer center opened my eyes to the many emotional and psychosocial challenges experienced by cancer patients that impact their quality of life and long-term health outcomes. After losing my mother and sister to metastatic breast cancer, and after processing my own grief, I found my purpose in life and made the decision to develop Cancer Kinship to address the mental health and emotional challenges experienced by cancer patients.
Cancer Kinship's Commitment to Support the Cancer Community
Cancer Kinship's programs were launched just five month prior to the COVID shut-downs. Last April, we made a strategic decision to move our mission forward and transition all programs online. By helping our clients connect with resources to address food insecurity and homelessness prevention through our community resource navigation services and with individualized and group emotional support, we helped improve the quality of life of our clients and removed barriers that will undoubtedly improve health outcomes.
Fundraising Amid the Pandemic.
Last year, we relied heavily on our nonprofit partners and community to help us move our mission forward. COVID-relief has been primarily focused on greatly needed community safety net programs such as local food banks and housing programs. However, despite many challenges and setbacks due to cancelled fundraising events and limited funding to support our cancer programs, we reached many important milestones that enabled us to grow. With help from our community, we will continue to thrive and grow this year. We are grateful for your gift consideration and support.
