This evening is intentionally set aside for the people who’ve been with us since the beginning, the ones who found us somewhere along the way, and anyone who wants to be part of where we’re headed next.
For twenty years, Carrie’s TOUCH has been in the business of making sure Black women are seen, heard, and believed when it comes to breast cancer.
On September 14, we’re pausing to raise a glass to this milestone!
[RSVP is required]
Most communities share a quiet reality: people who need to talk to each other won’t.
Not because the desire isn’t there, but because the space hasn’t been created, until now.
Who We Are.
Carrie’s TOUCH is a national nonprofit whose mission has always been to humanize Black women and their experiences with breast cancer. In operation for nearly two decades, we are one of the oldest breast cancer organizations solely focused on the support and outcomes of Black women and men thriving beyond breast cancer.
Keep in TOUCH.
A longtime and trusted community leading organization, Carrie’s TOUCH is literally about changing lives. We boldly and fearlessly stand on the frontlines daily for Black women. As we look to the next twenty years, we are reimagining not only who we are and what we do — we are changing the narrative to include, “Black women can and do live well.”
Season 2 of No Longer Silent is bringing something fresh: the voices of national leaders joining our advocacy leader learning series. Each episode features influential change-makers who are out on the front lines championing healthcare access, equity, and justice for all communities. We’re centering real stories, candid strategies, and practical wisdom for dismantling barriers and moving the needle on the issues that matter most.
Our groundbreaking app — designed by and for Black women surviving breast cancer — provides tangible support, including connections to support groups, financial resources, oncologists of color, low cost therapy, affirmations, and more. Now available in the iOS and Android app stores!
Black women have a 41% higher breast cancer mortality rate than White women. We are committed to shift the needle and shift this narrative. Join the challenge to #RuntoEndthe41 now!
Project SOAR is a community-academic research partnership with UCLA. The first of its kind, Project SOAR uplifts the voices of Black women to better understand the Strong Black Woman schema in the breast cancer context.
You are not alone, Sis.
Finding out you have breast cancer sucks. Finding out you have breast cancer while Black–sucks even more. If you’re a Black woman living with breast cancer and need support, resources, encouragement, or just a conversation, you’re in the right place. We’re helping Black women thrive. When Black women thrive, the world thrives.
We see you. We hear you. We understand. We are here for you: Providing support, resources, and connection. Contact us at info@carriestouch.org.
