The Pink Fund Board of Directors

Molly MacDonald

Founder, CEO and Breast Cancer SurThrivor®

“Never did I imagine a breast cancer diagnosis would lead me to see and try to help fill a niche in services for breast cancer patients and their families. What we do is truly an act of love. It is a privilege to be able to serve so many and act on behalf of our generous donors, without whom, our mission would not be possible.”

What sets The Pink Fund apart is truly the simplicity and directness of its mission to provide short-term financial aid. I believe the targeted scope of this mission allows The Pink Fund a much larger chance of achieving this.”

“Too often, the trauma of being diagnosed with breast cancer is compounded by having to worry about paying bills while struggling to maintain a job and comply with treatment regimens. The Pink Fund’s mission, pure and simple, is to ease that worry by providing vital financial support to those in need. I am delighted to serve an organization that focuses so directly and practically on helping others.”

“I am deeply humbled by this opportunity to serve on the board of The Pink Fund. The Pink Fund’s mission of decreasing financial distress of breast cancer patients aligns with the mission of my company, NaVectis Group. Financial Toxicity has devastated the lives of countless breast cancer patients across our nation and The Pink Fund is at the forefront of addressing this issue. I am excited to join this organization to help further its mission of decreasing financial distress for breast cancer patients.”

Katrina Studvent

“As a working young professional, wife and mother during the time of my breast cancer diagnosis, I understand the financial burdens a cancer diagnosis can present. I am excited about this opportunity to impact the financial stressors that occur while receiving treatment and help spread awareness of financial toxicity as a critical barrier to care amongst cancer patients nationwide. It is my hope that my knowledge and reach throughout our community locally and nationally will support The Pink Fund’s mission to further expand its efforts across the country and allow more cancer patients to redirect their focus to what matters most; returning to a healthy work-life balance.”
