Pink Pearl Foundation

Pink Pearl Canada is a community-oriented charitable organization that provides support, facilitates connections and empowers self-identifying young women between the ages of 18-40 who are courageously overcoming the social and emotional challenges of being diagnosed with any type of cancer. The organization started when our Founder, Elise Gasbarrino, faced her own cancer diagnosis and felt certain elements were missing from her experience--a way to connect with women her age facing the same issues, and a means for them to conquer them together. Through our innovative programs we provide safe and supportive spaces for our participants to come together to feel seen, heard and valued as they hear the words 'you have cancer'. We provide Retreats, have a One on One counselling program, a Peer Support Training, partner with Sephora Canada on their Brave Beauty Classes, offer a post-secondary scholarship, a legacy program and support packages. Our goal is to invite young women together to feel supported during any step of their cancer experience.
