Become a Tigerlily ANGEL Advocate

In the U.S., breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women in their 20s and 30s, and Black women are diagnosed at younger ages and with more aggressive types of breast cancer than any other group. The Tigerlily Foundation is committed to ending breast cancer disparities that disproportionately impact the Black community by transforming lives by mobilizing our community of young people, caregivers and loved ones. With the ANGEL Advocacy Program, we focus on two foundational initiatives to mobilize this community:

The ANGEL Advocacy Program provides comprehensive training and access to services and resources for people of color between the ages of 21-50, who have been personally or systemically touched by the disease. ANGEL Advocates become more knowledgeable about breast cancer, and the disparities that affect this population.

Our ANGEL Advocates become more knowledgeable about breast cancer, and the disparities that affect this population and use their time and voices to make an impact by:

Participating in awareness events

Supporting peers through their own breast health journey

Working on projects to inform research and clinical trial protocols

Educating legislators to make policy change

Advocating through their social media channels

Many ANGEL Advocates are directly involved with developing our programs and partnering with research and scientific communities to ensure clinical trials, studies, programs, and content are relevant to their population.

Tigerlily Foundation accepts new ANGEL advocates on a rolling basis for trainings that begin every six weeks.
