Throughout the month of October, RISELabX will be accepting donations to support two organizations who are doing incredibly important work in the face of breast cancer:

For every $100 raised, SalesLabX will match up to $6,000, and proceeds will be split evenly between the two organizations.

For the Breast of Us
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. As a woman of color, where do you go or who do you turn to when you’re in the midst of the fight of your life? You search online for stories and images of women who’ve gone through treatment and look like you, but you find little to nothing. Maybe you scroll down your timeline on social media, hoping to see a glimmer of hope in the face of other fighters and survivors, but you still yearn for something more.
That’s where “For the Breast of Us” comes in.
Our mission is to empower women of color affected by breast cancer to make the rest of their lives the best of their lives through education, advocacy and community.
