The PinkRose Foundation is a charity that was established in 2003 by Theresa Jay and Sandra Ellis. The Foundation’s goal is to support students who have lost a parent so they can “embark on personal growth and start to overcome the grief caused by breast cancer.” PinkRose is fortunate to charitably give back to the children left behind because of breast cancer. Since their inception in 2003, PinkRose has awarded $1000 scholarships to 91 college students through the Pink Rose Breast Cancer Scholarship.
