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 Hope Grant Program supports newly diagnosed female patients choosing to preserve fertility options ahead of treatment. Please contact us for more information about where we work geographically and our current fertility partners across the country.
After her *third* cancer diagnosis before age 40, our founder Amanda Rice channeled her frustration with reproductive health into a nonprofit.
Flashing it back to one of our incredible board members Jamie Parrot (@jamiesparrot) educating lax players at her alma mater @pennstate about the connection between cancer and infertility — and the work that The Chick Mission is doing to change access to these benefits. 💪
As we know, knowledge is power — and speaking in front of such an engaged audience was a gift! Thanks for having us @pennstatewlax! 🐥✨
Our motto ⬆️ Since no one wishes cancer upon themselves (or their worst enemy).
We’re so proud to be able to put a sense of control back into the lives of young female cancer patients at a blurring time where so little seems to be in control — and yet so many crucial decisions need to be made, fast.
Through fertility preservation, that sense of control and hope can trickle in. There’s dreams of lighter days and a fuller life, which may or may not include expanding your family. At least there’s choice in all of this…
All goes to say, a big THANK YOU you to everyone who continues to expand awareness of our mission — we won’t stop until the remaining 34 states mandate fertility preservation options for cancer patients — so let’s keep up the good fight 💛
Cheers to our ✨first✨ Great Egg Freeze in the Lone Star State! Texas, y’all go hard and we LOVE it!

Advocacy is ✨EVERYTHING!✨
We’re grateful for those who have helped lead the charge for monumental changes in the landscape of women’s health. Lindsay Beck is the Chief Impact Officer of @tmrwlifesciences, which is advancing how patients and clinics store their eggs and embryos.
Beck is not only a 2x cancer survivor, but also went on to found Fertile Hope, changing the standard of care for fertility and oncology and catalyzing the establishment of “oncofertility.” The organization was acquired by the @livestrong Foundation in 2009.
We are so thankful for her support, as well as TMRW’s, which donated 1k our way this Giving Tuesday. Thank you!! 💙

With the help of organizations like The Chick Mission, CCRM is able to help more patients achieve their dreams and preserve their future fertility potential. It’s an amazing partnership,” shares Dr. Rashmi Kudesia of @ccrmhouston

Being thrown into the fertility space — days (or perhaps hours!) after learning you have the dreaded C-word — comes with a learning curve… to say the least. Not only are you oozing with emotions and jolted with countless decisions to make (or perhaps you’re purely numb to it all) but you’re also tasked with learning a new language, chocked full of acronyms.
When you set an appointment with a fertility practice, your first meeting will likely be with your fertility doctor, also known as an REI — that’s short for Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility specialist. They’ve gone through OBGYN training (med school then residency), plus 3+ years of specialized training to get where they are; they know their stuff.
Your REI is one of the key players in the egg freezing process, there to have candid conversations throughout, perform the egg extraction, and more.
So next time someone brings up REI, you can ask yourself whether they’re talking about getting a new pair of sneakers or sitting down to have candid conversations about their future fertility options.🥚🩺
Calling all y’all in Austin! 💛🐥
Join us on December 3 for an EPIC Great Egg Freeze! This will be our first in Texas; help us make it a special one! Start planning out your jumps and fits, and save your spot via the link in bio 💦🤠
A cancer diagnosis certainly doesn’t come with a guidebook… but one thing that can be certain is the company you’ve cultivated, there to help navigate the rollercoaster ahead.
Our Executive Director extraordinaire, cancer survivor Tracy Weiss “sat down” on a Zoom call with one of her closest friends, Marisa, this past week. Together they reflected on some of the times spent together throughout TW’s cancer experience — and Marisa, who owns @arrichion_durham shared how she’s continuing to support: by bringing awareness and funds to The Chick Mission from North Carolina, a state that has yet to pass mandates around fertility preservation for cancer patients.
Through November 21, Marisa’s studio will be giving back to The Chick Mission through a workout challenge. Plus, they just hosted an extremely epic Great Egg Freeze with a dunk tank and chicken costume galore (stay tuned for the pics).
Learn more about how to get involved by visiting @arrichion_durham and heading to the link in bio! And know that we’re always here to chat + support those going through treatment, about to start it or who are years pass it 💛🐥✨
This November, we’re reflecting on all of the gratitude we have for our supporters — from small businesses to cancer warriors and all of the peeps who are downright passionate about changing the landscape of women’s health! 🙏
Right now we’re sharing a big thanks to @citymouse_ny, a New York-based parenting brand founded by a rare cancer survivor. For the entire month of November, in honor of Giving Tuesday (Nov 28), Citymouse® will be donating a portion of profits from every sale of their multipurpose diaper bag (great for anyone, not just parents) to The Chick Mission!
The founder of Citymouse®, Alex, was a recipient of a Hope Grant following her cancer diagnosis - and is “eternally grateful to The Chick Mission for giving her hope for the future she has always dreamed of.” 💛

Flashing it back to last Thursday, when we hosted our first-ever Appreciation in the Apple event (thank you @vaneck_us)! 🍎🌃
Together, we reflected on the incredible support behind our fifth annual gala, where over 500 guests gathered and 1M was raised to give young women with cancer options when it comes to their future fertility options. The success of that night was in large part thanks to our partners and members of our Peeps Committee. 🐥
If spreading word of our mission is of interest to YOU, head to the link in bio to find more ways to get involved — specifically, as a Chick Mission ✨peep✨! As a peep, you’ll be part of our fiercely dedicated flock, amplifying and energizing the mission’s impact 💛
