In the spotlight
Honoring the Journey. Funding the Beyond.
Life after active breast cancer treatment deserves continued support, recognition, and community.
Pink Battalion is a community created to support, recognize, and advance the lives of breast cancer veterans—especially beyond active treatment. Through education, resources, connection, and meaningful experiences, we honor the journey while helping women navigate what comes next.
BEYOND THE BELL
The Journey Doesn't End When Treatment Does.
Ringing the bell may mark the end of active treatment, but it doesn’t mark the end of the journey.
Pink Battalion recognizes the life that continues beyond diagnosis and treatment—the adjustments, questions, victories, challenges, and new chapters that follow. Our mission is to create a space where breast cancer veterans and those who walk beside them feel seen, supported, informed, and connected.
REDEFINING SURVIVORSHIP
Welcome to Veteranhood.
Breast Cancer Veteranhood™ recognizes that the experience of breast cancer doesn’t simply disappear when active treatment ends. The journey continues—and every person touched by it carries a different story.
Pink Battalion recognizes three types of Veteranhood, honoring not only the women who have experienced breast cancer, but also the people whose lives and legacies are forever connected to the journey.
The journey continues.
LIVING VETERANS
Women navigating life during and beyond their breast cancer experience.
Their impact lives on.
LEGACY VETERANS
Honoring breast cancer veterans who have passed away while preserving their stories, impact, and legacy.
No one walks the journey alone.
COLLATERAL VETERANS
Family members, friends, caregivers, and loved ones whose lives are also impacted by the breast cancer journey.
BORN FROM EXPERIENCE. BUILT WITH PURPOSE.
From One Journey, A Greater Mission.
After experiencing breast cancer firsthand, Dr. Chevelta Smith recognized something important: support shouldn’t disappear when treatment ends.
Pink Battalion grew from that understanding—a desire to redefine what life beyond breast cancer can look like and create meaningful resources, conversations, connections, and experiences for women navigating their own beyond.
