Essential Restorative Support Program

The Essential Restorative Support Program provides financial assistance for 3D nipple and areola tattoos, the final phase of breast reconstruction, for patients diagnosed with breast cancer or a genetic mutation who live in Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Advocacy

Pink Glimmers Foundation supports public policy initiatives through legislation, regulation, funding and other actions at both the state and federal level. 

Public policy affects breast cancer survivors, thrivers, and previvors in many ways including, but not limited to: 

• Funding for research; 
• Legislation and regulation regarding insurance coverage for all aspects of breast reconstruction and survivorship care; and 
• Coverage of breast reconstruction and other aspects of cancer care through Medicare and Medicaid.

Donate

Breast cancer treatment doesn’t always end when the cancer is gone. For many survivors, reconstruction is more than rebuilding a breast—it’s about reclaiming a sense of self. Areola tattoos can be the final step in that journey, restoring something deeply personal that cancer took away. Your donation can help a survivor feel whole, confident, and beautiful again. Please give today and help restore hope, dignity, and a sense of self.
