Our Mission
The PinkRose℠ Foundation Inc. assists in the post-secondary education of children who have lost a parent to breast cancer, by raising and distributing funds.
Over the years, The PinkRose℠ Foundation Inc. has proudly awarded over $120,000 in scholarships to resilient students across the country who have lost a parent to breast cancer. These funds have helped ease the burden of tuition, allowing students to focus on their education and healing. Many recipients have expressed how deeply this support impacted them--“This scholarship reminded me that I wasn’t alone,” one student shared, while another said, “PinkRose gave me the encouragement to keep going during one of the hardest times in my life.” Another student wrote, "Receiving this support was more than financial help—it was hope." Through every application, every award, and every heartfelt thank-you, we see the impact of our mission unfolding in the lives of tomorrow’s leaders. From nursing programs to business schools, our scholars are now thriving in a wide range of fields, carrying forward the strength and spirit of their lost parents. Each award is a step toward honoring a life lost and empowering a future full of possibility.
2024 Scholarship Awardees

From April through December 2024, The PinkRose℠ Foundation hosted a vibrant and successful season of in-person fundraising events, each one bringing the community together in support of our mission. Our calendar was packed with creative and engaging experiences—from the Sea Glass Rose Workshop and spa day retreats to raffles, shopping events, and music gatherings, The Ramble. Highlights included our Blossoming Futures: Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders campaign kickoff and multiple sold-out events that energized and expanded our donor base. These events not only raised critical funds but also deepened awareness of our cause, allowing attendees to connect with the stories behind our mission. Whether crafting cutting boards, selecting jewelry at Kendra Scott, or sipping and shopping at J. McLaughlin, supporters left each event knowing they were making a difference in the lives of students impacted by breast cancer.

Theresa Jay and Sandra Ellis are all too familiar with Breast Cancer and the devastation it leaves behind. They too have fought with this disease and have survived. Sadly, there are countless others who have not been so lucky. They leave behind their children who not only have to deal with the grief from losing a parent but also the financial hardship, which accompanies death. While Theresa and Sandra underwent treatment, they met many people fighting this disease.
Wonderful people who came into their lives for just a moment in time but left footprints forever in their hearts. The remarkable commonality among these mothers and fathers was the concern they held for their children’s future if they were to die. It was after these heartfelt discussions that led Theresa and Sandra to initiate this effort. The PinkRose℠ Foundation was created to provide scholarships where children can embark on personal growth and start to overcome the grief caused by Breast Cancer.

“Just as Nature Arranges for the Rose to Bloom, Our Compassion Will Help a Child to Bloom.”
Theresa and Sandra chose the name PinkRose℠ because roses are timeless flowers of love. Pink roses communicate happiness, appreciation, admiration, friendship, and sympathy. The scented blooms bring peace and joy to all.
