Tigerlily Foundation’s CHOICE Project

Tigerlily Foundation’s CHOICE Project is about providing women with just that – a choice that empowers her and one that could positively impact the trajectory of her care.  This activation will: 

  • Educate our community about the importance of clinical trials and biomarker testing 
  • Provide education, tools and resources to make an informed decision for their health 
  • Enhance the framework for successful community and site engagement for clinical trials 
  • Deliver a series of community events (in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles throughout the summer of 2025 where we will partner with community-based organizations to listen, learn, educate and sharing stories about the benefit of clinical trials  provide the opportunity for attendees to meet clinicians at a partner site and discuss how to be screened for enrollment in a clinical trial, and how to participate.   

Tigerlily Foundation is partnering with Roche to uplift our community by offering the choice to participate, the choice to empower themselves with knowledge, and the opportunity to access treatments for better outcomes 

Participating in clinical trials can extend and save lives. Please see our ANGELs share their stories on social media and join us in working to close the gaps in access and understanding.
