Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Breast Cancer
Mission: The Tyanna Foundation honors a mother’s life, love, and living legacy. Tyanna Barre O’Brien lost her battle with breast cancer in 1990 at the tender age of 48. Her legacy continues today through the work of her daughters Anne, Bridget, Megan, Sara & Kate O’Brien, the founders of BreastFest. It is their commitment to awareness and prevention that inspires and leads the work of the Tyanna Foundation. Since it’s inception in 1999 in Athens, GA., the Tyanna Foundation has worked tirelessly increasing awareness and generating money for breast cancer research, services, education, treatment and patient care for local breast cancer patients and survivors. We are expanding our reach, and have raised over $1,000,000 to help local organizations in Southern New Jersey, Baltimore, Maryland, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--as well as Athens--to treat and care for breast cancer patients. All of the funds raised in each city benefit a local breast center or breast health organization.
Results: Over $1,000,000 raised for breast health services and breast cancer treatment.
Programs: Several events held to promote breast cancer awareness and raise funds to contribute to local breast cancer centers.
