our mission
We are committed to providing assistance that directly impacts the lives of women who are undergoing breast and other gynecological cancers.
1 of Us was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina with a mission of helping women undergoing cancer treatment. Backed by a grass roots community of givers, 1 of Us was founded as 1 in 9 in 2010 to provide financial support for women undergoing breast cancer treatment. After assisting nearly 1,000 patients, the mission of this organization was expanded to assisting women being treated for all gynecological cancers. 1 of Us is proud to partner with UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Duke Raleigh Hospital and Rex Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina and Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, North Carolina, to reach these patients. We are even prouder to continue to provide all that support through the generosity of local businesses and individual donors.
