Linked By Pink

Linked By Pink is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization made up of breast cancer survivors from the Erie, Pennsylvania area who were all diagnosed before the age of 45. We serve individuals within a 45-mile radius of Erie.

We provide both emotional and financial support to young women diagnosed with breast cancer. Our goal is to walk alongside them on their journey and offer a place where they feel supported and understood. Emotional support is offered through monthly meetings, one-on-one meetups, and a private Facebook group. Financial assistance can include help with medical expenses, travel to treatment, grocery gift cards, utility bills, and rent or mortgage payments.

As survivors, we want to be a source of inspiration—just as others were for us when we needed it most. This battle doesn’t have to be fought alone. We've all been there—some of us more than once.

Everyone at Linked By Pink understands the emotional roller coaster of a breast cancer diagnosis at a young age. We’ve shared the same fears, frustrations, and uncertainties. But we've also found strength, comfort, and even humor in each other. Breast cancer may challenge our bodies and spirits, but it cannot take away our ability to laugh, love, and live life fully. This is a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey—and no one should walk it alone. We are here to listen, connect, and uplift.

Our group meets monthly in Erie and often holds impromptu coffee meetups when needed. Members include women who are newly diagnosed and those who have been survivors for over 25 years. We welcome anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, though our focus remains on those diagnosed under the age of 45, at any stage—from in situ to stage 4.

We are also active in the community, raising awareness about breast cancer in young women. We participate in awareness walks, organize fundraisers, and host an annual bowling tournament. We collaborate with individuals and local groups who support our mission to assist patients and their families.
