Preserve
Fertility

Having cancer isn’t a choice.
Having kids still should be.

Our mission is to ensure every young woman newly diagnosed with cancer has the option to preserve fertility through direct financial support, educational programs, and advocacy efforts.

We refuse to let the emotional, physical, and financial cost of a cancer diagnosis stand between young women and a full life after beating this disease.

Our Story

After her *third* cancer diagnosis before age 40, our founder Amanda Rice channeled her frustration with reproductive health into a nonprofit.

OUR STORY

@CHICKMISSION

The cancer, fertility, and medical space seems to be full of endless acronyms — it’s like you’re picking up a new language, as you’re having to make important decisions on care.

We’re continuing our series, where we’re breaking down these terms - starting with ASRM. No, not ASMR…

The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (@asrm_org) founded in 1944, is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to the advancement of the science and practice of reproductive medicine. The Society accomplishes its mission through the pursuit of excellence in education and research and through advocacy on behalf of patients, physicians, and affiliated health care providers.

In 2018, the Society created the ASRM Research Institute, focusing on areas that will have the most impact on the practice of reproductive medicine. ASRM maintains Practice, Ethics and Patient Education committees that consistently review, update and publish new relevant materials to the field of reproductive medicine offering guidelines for ethical and appropriate practice in the field, as well as patient education materials. 

Next week marks the organization’s annual conference, a true meeting of the minds. And members of the flock will be on-the-ground in Denver! 👀 We look forward to sharing more about the findings that come from that — ensuring the highest level of patient care. 💛

“These are decisions we’re forced to make in a very, very brief amount of time, but they’re the right decisions to make for our future,” shared our CEO and Founder Amanda Rice at last week’s @thepinkagenda gala, where she was honored with the Icon Award. 🥹✨🐥💗🙌 ...

The Pink Agenda’s Annual Gala was a rockin’ good time! 🎸✨💗

The organization’s celebration of progress and research in the field raised a record-breaking $340,000 for Breast Cancer Research.

The Chick Mission team was honored to be a part of the night — and to see our CEO shine on stage as she was honored with the ICON Award 🥹💖
...

On Thursday, our Executive Director, Tracy Weiss, introduced our founder + CEO, Amanda Rice, recipient of The Pink Agenda’s ICON Award 💗🥹

Thank you @thepinkagenda for the recognition — and for hosting a beautiful night celebrating community and progress in cancer care. It was an honor to be a part of the night!

Stay tuned for more updates from the fabulous evening ✨
...

Congratulations to our fearless founder and CEO, who will be recognized with the Icon Award tonight at @thepinkagenda’s gala in TriBeCa! 🗽💗

It’s through her first-hand frustration and pain with insurance denying her fertility preservation benefits ahead of cancer treatments that The Chick Mission gained its footing - and has since carried that fiery momentum.

The results, today? Amanda continues to advocate at the state level for inclusive oncofertility care, educate peers and businesses about fertility care, help hundreds of young women through the Hope Grant program and cultivate a flock of survivors and supporters…and so much more 🐥🥹

Ricey, you inspire us all - and we’re so proud of the recognition you’re receiving tonight!! 💖

Each year, an estimated 310,720 women are diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the United States. Thanks to breakthroughs in medicine, advocacy efforts and access to care, the mortality rates of the disease have decreased by 44% since the 1980s. While more young adults are being diagnosed with cancer, more young adults are also surviving - and thriving! Living very full, bright lives. And for many of these young women, their post-treatment chapters still include dreams of starting a family.

Tomorrow, I could not be more thrilled to speak with @cbsmornings on the impact The Chick Mission has made for thousands of young women, through our advocacy efforts and Hope Grant program. Together, we have gifted these young women hope for the future - and given them the option to decide whether they want to have children. It’s not cancer’s choice, it’s theirs.

Thank you to the flock who constantly fights for these young, inspiring women - and helps us to create tangible impact.

Tune in tomorrow during the 8am hour for the full story 💓

We’re throwing it back to last week, where we heard from inspiring women across fashion, art, and wine at our first-ever ✨Changemakers✨ event on the East Coast!

One thing the panelists all had in common? They’re disrupters in male-dominated industries, questioning and rewriting the status quo. 💪

Featured here is the force that is Hall Rockefeller, the founder of Less than Half (@all.the.lady.artists) and an art critic, speaker, and advisor specializing in the work of women artists. 🎨
