Many Voices. One Goal

Created by Women • Led by Women • For Women

As drivers of change and innovation, decision makers, communicators and leaders, women know firsthand how to make a meaningful impact.

When women come together, our voices are amplified and our impact is multiplied. The Echo Alliance is a collaborative group of women – with a passion for making a difference – dedicated to supporting those affected by cancer.

The Echo Alliance participants are asked to make an annual $1,000 ($83/month) tax-deductible, targeted donation to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.

Members of The Echo Alliance have a say in how donations make a meaningful impact at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. In March 2025, all current participants can vote on the next project.

With the goal of moving the needle in cancer care, since 2021, The Echo Alliance’s impact has been vast. During the inaugural year, the group invested in next-generation technology to benefit women with gynecological cancers. Within months, the device was in use and transforming how patients with cervical cancer are treated.

Following the funding of this transformational project, the group focused on enhancing Mary Bird Perkins’ clinical trials program. This program helps provide monumental care for patients close to home. With The Echo Alliance’s generous funding, they supported the addition of a dedicated clinical research pharmacist, helping to propel cancer care forward and elevate the clinical trials program.

"It’s an unfortunate fact that we’ve all been touched by cancer in some way. Being a part of the Echo Alliance is incredibly special and my favorite community group. As a member, I not only get to support Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center’s impactful mission right here in my hometown, but I also get to connect with this extraordinary group of women."
