Why: YSC Tour de Pink raises awareness and funds for the Young Survival Coalition (YSC). YSC is the premier global organization dedicated to the critical issues unique to young adults who are diagnosed with breast cancer. The organization offers resources, connections and outreach so young adults feel supported, empowered and hopeful. There are more than a quarter of a million young adults living in the U.S. today who were diagnosed with breast cancer before their 41st birthday. YSC’s goal is to ensure that no young adult feels alone as they face breast cancer. YSC currently achieves this with their more than 170 local, in-person support networks, online resources and education programs and community initiatives. YSC Tour de Pink is the organization’s largest fundraiser and has generated more than $16 million to date and continues to raise awareness that young adults can, and do, get breast cancer.
