Created by Women • Led by Women • For Women
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.
The Echo Alliance’s 2025 funding project is “Bringing Low-Dose Lung Cancer Screenings to Women at Risk.” The project’s goal is to increase awareness, improve access to screenings and SAVE LIVES.
Lung cancer is the #1 cause of cancer deaths in women, taking more lives than breast, ovarian and cervical cancers combined. This innovative and forward-thinking project will help more women get scans, which can find lung cancer early when it is easier to treat, leading to better outcomes. To learn more, click here.
All 2025 Echo Alliance donations will support this initiative. A new project will be voted on in early 2026 and all active members are eligible to participate.
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 that is transforming how women with cervical cancer are treated. Following the funding of this transformational project, the group 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."
