The Pink Bracelet Fund®, an all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was formed in October 2004 when Melissa Etheridge announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. As fans, we wondered what we could do to help support Melissa during this difficult time in her life. The idea was to produce pink bracelets inscribed with a famous Melissa quote "Be Strong" to show our support for her as she battled this disease. The Pink Bracelet Fund was born in just a few days time as several fans worked around the clock to make this project a reality. Over 18 months later, we have donated $200,000 directly to breast cancer research in Melissa's name. We thank you all for your support, and we look forward to many more years of raising money to fight breast cancer. “One woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 3 minutes and one woman dies of breast cancer every 13 minutes.”
Our Mission: * Raise funds for breast cancer research so that a cure can be found in our lifetime * Educate women about and raise awareness of breast cancer health issues
