Cervivor Cares: Honoring Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy

In the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr.’s profound legacy of public service and activism, Cervivor, a global organization on a mission to end cervical cancer, is proud to introduce the Cervivor Cares initiative. Driven by a commitment to impact communities positively, Cervivor Cares aims to embody the values of compassion, equality, and service Dr. King championed throughout his lifetime.

Cervivor recognizes the importance of addressing health disparities and advocating for anyone with a cervix’s well-being. The Cervivor Cares initiative seeks to amplify Dr. King’s message of justice and equality by providing support, resources, and education to those impacted by cervical cancer. It is also a way to thank the medical teams that screen, treat, and support cervical cancer patients and survivors. 

By engaging in community outreach, awareness campaigns, and collaborative efforts, Cervivor Cares is dedicated to promoting preventive healthcare, destigmatizing conversations around the Human Papillomavirus (or HPV) and cervical health, as well as ensuring that every individual, regardless of their background, has access to the information and resources they need.

As we celebrate the lasting impact of Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream, Cervivor Cares stands as a testament to the belief that collective action and service can bring about positive change. Through honoring Dr. King’s legacy, Cervivor strives to create a world where cervical cancer is ultimately eliminated. Join us in this meaningful journey towards a healthier and more equitable future for all.

Empowering Change for Cervical Cancer Survivors

Give 8/28 is a national giving day dedicated to supporting Black-led nonprofits. Cervivor is sharing the incredible impact of your support on our mission to eradicate cervical cancer and improve the health outcomes of Black women and marginalized communities. 

At Cervivor, we are committed to addressing the disparities in cervical cancer education, treatment, and prevention among Black women. Our mission is to empower individuals with knowledge and resources so they have access to care, promoting early detection, and ultimately, reducing the burden of cervical cancer in our communities.

1. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: As Cervivior continues its longstanding commitment to diversity work with the addition of Kimberly William’s role as the Chief DEI Officer, Cervivor has expanded and developed four diverse private groups to provide a safe, relatable space for members to express how cervical cancer impacts their lives and their communities.

2. Advocacy and Education: Along with our premiere educational patient advocacy program, Cervivor School, and the Cervical Cancer Advocacy Retreat for Communities of Color, our team and dedicated volunteers have been working tirelessly to raise awareness about the importance of regular screenings and HPV vaccinations. By participating in community events, health fairs, and online campaigns, we aim to normalize conversations around all things cervical cancer.

3. Support for Cervical Cancer Patients, Survivors, and Thrivers: We offer emotional and practical support to those diagnosed with cervical cancer. From connecting patients with our support group, Creating Connections, to providing educational resources, we strive to create a strong network of empathy and care during their journey no matter where they are located.

Give 8/28 is a pivotal opportunity for us to expand our reach and amplify our impact even more. Your generous contribution on this day will directly enable us to:

  • Expand our educational initiatives to reach more communities.
  • Provide increased access to diverse, equitable, and inclusive spaces for those impacted by cervical cancer.
  • Strengthen our advocacy efforts to eliminate disparities in cervical cancer outcomes.
