WHAT WE DO
We empower women battling cancerFighting Pretty sends "Pretty Packages" which are donated care packages intended to empower women battling all types of cancer, at any stage of treatment to feel strong, beautiful and fierce through their fight with cancer. Each Pretty Package includes donated cosmetics, inspirational items and our iconic mini pink boxing gloves.Due to COVID-19, for the safety of our staff and community, we have paused on sending full Pretty Packages at this time. However, our boxing gloves are available for purchase.
We send strengthEvery 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
By connecting women via the Fighting Pretty Through Cancer Facebook page, hosting community events and engaging volunteers to host "Lipstick Drives" throughout the country, we create community to further our mission to help women battling cancer feel strong and beautiful.FEATURED ON
