| It's The Journey, Inc. ("ITJ") is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in 2002 by two-time breast cancer survivor, Randi Passoff. After becoming an active participant in Atlanta-area breast cancer organizations and events, Randi saw a need for an organization that would raise funds and awareness for the various Atlanta breast cancer organizations helping many women in the community. She understood that many organizations helping individuals and families dealing with breast cancer were either too small or unable to reach the entire Atlanta community with their message.
As a result of Randi's vision, It's The Journey, Inc. was created to strengthen Atlanta's breast cancer community through fundraising and awareness efforts. To date, the organization has raised $5.5 million and presented 107 grants to Atlanta-area breast cancer organizations. The Atlanta community has always been committed to taking a strong stand against breast cancer.
Mission of ITJ
It's The Journey's mission is to strengthen Atlanta's breast cancer community by raising money and awareness for local Atlanta organizations that focus on breast cancer education, research, early detection, awareness and support services, as well as the unmet needs in the breast cancer community.
