Allison Hancock, Executive Director - Allison has been a breast cancer survivor since 2004. Allison began volunteering at Breast Friends in 2013 and now serves as Executive Director since 2018. When she isn’t involved with the day to day of Breast Friends, she enjoys reading, cooking and crafting. She says, “It is a great honor to lead this organization. Seeing the impact that the programs has made on the women we serve as they are navigating the cancer journey. Alyssa Beyer, Community Engagement Coordinator - Alyssa came to Breast Friends in early 2019 as a volunteer. After spending a short amount of time in the office, she fell in love with the staff and community and decided to officially join the team as Events Coordinator. 2022 presented an opportunity to change focus a bit and work as the Community Engagement Coordinator, giving Alyssa the opportunity to work more directly with women we serve. Liz Brown, Events & Social Media Coordinator - Liz joined Breast Friends after being a key volunteer for two years. She has focused on bringing the social media streams up to date and assisting with events and she will continue to do so. In addition, she will assist in launching new programs. She is very passionate about helping women with cancer, as she lost her mother to breast cancer in 2008 and spent time working in medical community. In the past, she has also volunteered for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Girls on the Run and spent years in other school activities.
