Our Mission
Through faith we will provide support in finding their new normal for all breast cancer survivors and their family.
Blessings and OpportunitiesScholarships
High School Scholarships
Pink ImpACT notifies each high school counselor of the available scholarship each year. Once the students apply, Pink ImpACT selects scholarship recipient(s) based on their 200 word essay on How Breast Cancer Has Affected Their Life. Once selected, each counselor is notified of the winner and Pink ImpACT presents the awardee $1,000 and a scholarship certificate at the high school awards ceremony. The scholarship awarded can go toward a degree plan or a vocational college.
Endowed Scholarships
An endowed scholarship a major gift to a college used to fund scholarships. This fund is meant to be permanent, so the money donated is never actually spent. Instead, investment income earned from the endowment fund is used to fund the scholarship for years to come. Pink ImpACT’s endowed scholarships are available at both Grayson College & Paris Junior College. To apply, you must go through each college and the recipient is chosen by the college foundation.

Passionate About Survivors
You are considered a survivor the day you are diagnosed with breast cancer. Survivorship actually lasts longer than going through treatment. It is your “new normal.” You have a new way of life, and new, different issues will continue to arise.
Implementing our Mission Statement
Pink ImpACT is a faith based organization that helps survivors understand their new “normal” life through mentorship and scholarships. There are about 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., including women still being treated and those who have completed treatment.
Volunteering
Pink ImpACT is passionate about survivorship and implements scholarships for breast cancer survivors’ dependents/caregivers. Sherry (Pink ImpAct’s founder) is certified through Texas Tech in the Change Cycle™ for breast cancer survivors and their caregivers, teaching them effective coping and life skills.
