Tigerlily Foundation’s mission is to educate, advocate for, empower and support young women before, during and after cancer.

Tigerlily Foundation is honored to recognize Daria L. Ross, MPH, Patient & Community Impact Advocate, with the Kawana Rucker Courage Award at our 20th Anniversary EmPOWER Ball.

After being diagnosed with Stage 2 Triple-Negative Breast Cancer in 2018, Daria transformed her experience into a mission to educate, empower, and advocate for others. Now a seven-year survivor, she uses her voice and lived experience to champion patient education, peer support, health equity, and greater awareness of disparities in cancer care.

From serving as a Tigerlily Foundation ANGEL Advocate and ACS VOICES for Black Women Ambassador to developing resources that support breast health, survivorship, and clinical trial participation, Daria continues to create pathways for people to feel informed, supported, and empowered in their healthcare journeys.

The Kawana Rucker Courage Award honors extraordinary courage in confronting health inequities, amplifying marginalized voices, advancing culturally responsive care, and inspiring action in the face of adversity. Daria embodies that spirit by turning her own journey into advocacy that reaches far beyond herself and helps others find knowledge, community, and power in their own voices.

Guided by #FaithOverFear, Daria reminds us that courage is not only what carries us through adversity. It is what we choose to do with our experiences to create change for others.

We are proud to celebrate Daria and her impact at Tigerlily Foundation’s 20th Anniversary EmPOWER Ball.

One hour can be the

Breast cancer awareness doesn’t begin or end in October. 💗

Every day, Tigerlily Foundation works to amplify patient voices, advance breast health education, advocate for equitable access to care, and empower people with the information and resources they need to advocate for their health.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have an opportunity to turn up the volume on those conversations, reach more people, and remind our communities that awareness must be met with education, advocacy, access, and action.

This month, and every month, we honor those diagnosed, those living with metastatic breast cancer, survivors, caregivers, advocates, and the loved ones we carry with us.

Awareness is only the beginning. Together, we keep the work moving forward.
