Mission Statement
Pink Pearl Canada is a community-oriented organization that provides support, facilitates connections and empowers young women who are courageously overcoming the social and emotional challenges of being diagnosed with cancer.
About This Cause
Pink Pearl was conceived by ovarian cancer survivor Elise Gasbarrino. While undergoing cancer treatment in her early twenties, she 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 their issues together. Her vision transformed into Pink Pearl. We provide support, facilitates connections and empowers self-identifying young women who are courageously overcoming the social and emotional challenges of being diagnosed with cancer. Our free programs are intended for self-identifying young women between the ages of 18-40. See below for our suite of programs: Retreats: encourage our program participants to connect, self reflect, and share experiences in a safe and peer-supported environment. Local Socials: are hosted by our Peer Supports to provide a relaxed environment to share and re-connect. One on One: provides support through one-on-one short-term counselling sessions with a social worker Peer Support Program: invites program participants to facilitate Local Socials and lend a listening ear to young women facing cancer through our mentorship program Support Packages: are provided to hospitals and wellness centres across Canada and contain helpful resources, guided questions, and a symbolic bracelet for young women newly diagnosed with cancer.
