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 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. When funding decisions are made, all current Echo Alliance participants have the chance to vote on the allocation of funds.
The Echo Alliance’s inaugural 2025 funding project is “Healing Forward: A Vision for Survivorship Care.” The project’s goal is to create a comprehensive cancer survivorship program —one that meets survivors where they are and supports them as they heal forward
This project will help to close a long-standing gap in cancer care and set the stage for a scalable program that will serve thousands of patients for years to come.
A new project will be voted on in Spring 2026 and all active members are eligible to participate.

“What makes the Echo Alliance so special is that it consists of more than 150 women dedicated to making a measurable difference in the lives of patients at Mary Bird Perkins. I have lost many close family members to cancer, so it is extremely important to me to align myself with an organization and mission that helps lessen the burden for those fighting this disease today."
