    • WHAT WE DO

      We send Pretty Packages

      Hope, strength and beauty all wrapped in pink

      "Pretty Packages" are donated care packages intended to empower women battling all types of cancer, at any stage of treatment to feel strong, beautiful and fierce; a reminder that they are amazing and truly "Fighting Pretty!"

      We share strength

      A symbol of strength and hope.

      Every Pretty Package includes a pair of mini pink boxing gloves. When founder, Kara Skaflestad was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 26, she was given a pair by her best friend's mom (another survivor) and they hung on Kara’s bedpost every day as a reminder to stay strong and fight!

       

      When Kara's fight was "over," she passed them on to another fighter, who also passed them on. The mini pink boxing gloves are a reminder to every woman battling cancer to never give up. And when she is ready to pass on her strength, she can pass her mini pink boxing gloves on too.

      We create community

      Join in the fight!

      We are always looking for individuals and companies to help create Pretty Packages, run "Lipstick Drives" and fundraise for Fighting Pretty in order to further our mission and help even more women battling cancer feel strong and beautiful.
