The Laurus Project Launches New Outreach Program
Orange is the New Pink® Thrive Tribe, part of The Laurus Project Outreach Initiative, is helping women affected by breast cancer get empowered in a supportive and inspiring environment to take control of their health and live their best lives.
Thrive Tribes are designed to bring together health education, resources, and activities and deliver them to women affected by breast cancer directly, in their communities. Each month, The Laurus Project will provide education about a topic relevant to the challenges women affected by breast cancer face along with a suggested activity that spurs action. An example would be education on nutrition partnered with a cooking tutorial.
Thrive Tribe members are women who have been affected by breast cancer through prior diagnosis or are at high-risk for the disease. Each tribe, led by a volunteer breast cancer thriver or a high-risk leader, serves as the link between tribe members and The Laurus Project education, programs and activities.
Tribes are located in cities across the U.S. and meet every month. To join, survivors can click on the “Thrive Tribe” link found on The Laurus Project website. An inspiring pledge of commitment to self-care is part of the process of joining the tribe.
“It’s about community and empowerment. We are delivering up-to-date health information to individuals affected by breast cancer in their community and empowering them to take control of their health in a supportive and inspiring environment.” said Teresa Lawsky, Founder, The Laurus Project®.
