The mission of the Shades of Pink Foundation (SOPF) Junior Board is to advance the Foundation’s mission of reducing financial stress for individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment in Southeast Michigan by cultivating the next generation of advocates, donors, and leaders.

The Junior Board supports the Board of Directors through education, engagement, and philanthropy by:

• Educating members and the broader community about SOPF’s impact and mission to provide prompt financial assistance for daily living expenses to breast cancer patients

• Recruiting and developing future supporters, volunteers, and leaders committed to sustaining SOPF’s long-term impact

• Planning and hosting one annual fundraising event in support of SOPF’s programs and services

• Identifying and cultivating at least one prospective donor lead annually for consideration by the Development Committee, strengthening SOPF’s donor pipeline and community partnerships

Through these efforts, the Junior Board serves as a bridge between SOPF’s current leadership and the next generation of champions dedicated to ensuring that no individual faces financial hardship as a result of a breast cancer diagnosis.
