At Chicks Take Action, we believe awareness is only the beginning. It’s time to remove the barriers that hold women back from getting mammograms—fear, accessibility, and cost. Together, we empower women to take charge of their health, because without action, awareness is irrelevant. Join us in making a real difference today.
I’m angry. That’s the truth. Two of the most important women in my life—my mom, Andrea, and my best friend, Debra—both passed away from breast cancer, almost on the same day. They were smart women, and they had access to the right resources. But they didn’t ACT. Were they aware of the risks? Absolutely. Yet, awareness didn’t translate into action.
And here’s what really eats at me: I didn’t act on their behalf either. I stood by while awareness failed to save them. That’s why I’m driven to make sure we do more than just know—we take action.
Chicks Take Action is committed to breaking down the barriers preventing women from getting mammograms. Through accessible mobile mammogram events, educational talks, and support groups, we aim to empower women with knowledge, remove the fear of the unknown, and eliminate financial obstacles. Partnering with local businesses, our ‘Get your damn mammogram’ initiative rewards proactive health steps, ensuring women feel supported every step of the way. Because without action, awareness is irrelevant.
You did it. You took charge of your health, and now it’s time to be rewarded. Flash your “I got my d@#* Mammogram” sticker at local businesses and enjoy exclusive deals—because taking care of yourself deserves something extra.
Join us for cornhole, fun, and an even bigger win—taking control of your health. Our “Fun Bags” event is a cornhole tournament with a twist: while you’re tossing bags, you can also get a mobile mammogram on-site. Bring your “Boobie Buddies,” make a day of it, and let’s make sure no one’s health gets sidelined.
Join forces with your birthday-month squad for a no-holds-barred talk & chat series. Share your fears, ask those awkward questions, and get real. We’ll send “MammoGRAMS,” carpool to appointments, and more! Getting a mammogram shouldn’t be a solo mission—it’s a party!
