I am proud to support the Joy to Life Foundation and the incredible work they do in the fight against breast cancer. Joy to Life provides crucial breast health services to underserved and underinsured communities, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to receiving life-saving mammograms. Their commitment to raising awareness and providing accessible care is truly inspiring.

Through events like the Walk of Life, Joy to Life not only raises funds but also brings together survivors, families, medical professionals, and community members in a meaningful way. As a volunteer, I’ve witnessed firsthand the hope, encouragement, and tangible support this foundation provides to so many people. It’s a compassionate, well-organized nonprofit with a genuine impact in Alabama, and I am grateful to be part of their mission. Highly recommend supporting or getting involved!

Joy to Life Foundation began in 2001 where they began providing mammograms to the medically underserved communities for 3 counties in Alabama. Fast forward to to today and they now provide Mammograms, Biopsies, Ultrasounds and the cost of an office visit to every county in Alabama (67) and have provided more than 100,000 mammograms to the medically underserved community in Alabama. They have become the largest, most successful Breast Cancer Foundations in Alabama. Their awareness programs are amazing. They are one of the most unique and highly respected charitable organizations in our State. Check them out.... www.joytolife.org

We at the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) are so grateful to the Joy the Life Foundation (JTL) for helping us spread our mission of providing crucial financial assistance to those in need in Alabama. It is ABCF's mission to provide support for lifesaving mammograms and screenings to underserved individuals, regardless of age or gender. Thanks to our partnership with JTL, we are able to reach so many young women in Alabama who may not otherwise have access to breast cancer screenings. TOGETHER, we are able to extend the reach of the rescue and assist in the early detection, treatment, and survival of breast cancer. Thank you JTL, for being a pleasure to not just work with, but COLLABORATE with to save lives!

The Joy to Life Foundation has made such a positive difference in Alabama. Not only does this organization do such important work, providing mammograms and promoting breast cancer awareness, its staff members and volunteers do it all with an amazingly encouraging and giving attitude that really rubs off on everyone that comes in contact with them. I'm proud that they are based in my state and my hometown.
