ABOUT CHARGE UP CAMPAIGN

The Charge Up Campaign was created by Charessa Sawyer after her own experience with being a caregiver for her mother, who is a breast cancer survivor. She says that she and her siblings realized that once they stopped focusing on mom "the patient" and celebrated her as mom "the person" she gained a new outlook on life. In line with the pillars of the organization; Empowering survivors, Inspiring warriors and Educating communities, it is Charessa's goal to travel to each state to host Smile Sessions, Day of Celebration makeovers and educational events to provide tools and resources for life after cancer.
