Through BCRF, The Pink Agenda begins supporting the work of Dr. Ann Partridge, founder and director of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Young & Strong Program. Dr. Partridge’s research focuses on young women diagnosed with breast cancer under age 40, and the program works to improve their medical and psychosocial care and outcomes.

TPA broadened its reach by initiating corporate partnerships and starting a team for the New York City Marathon.
