WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING A BLESSING TO THOSE WHO ARE TOUCHED BY CANCER
"Look Good – Feel Good" Charity Fashion Show and Luncheon
The Praise Out Cancer Foundation (POCF), is pleased to announce that our Look Good – Feel Good Breast and Prostate Cancer Awareness Charity Fashion Show and Luncheon will be held on Saturday, September 24, 2022 1 pm at the Lovely Hill Baptist Association Conference Center, 5905 West Jim Bilton Boulevard, St. George, SC.
Look Good – Feel Good: A Survivors Experience
Our “Look Good – Feel Good” Fashion Show will feature incredible women and men models who are either currently going through breast and prostate cancer treatment or breast and prostate cancer survivors or honoring someone affected by breast and prostate cancer.
Each participant will be modeling their very own “Sunday Best” fashion creation. Using fashion, our models will be thanking God they don’t look like what they’ve been through, and celebrating who they’ve become. We feel this fashion show is a special and unique way to spread awareness about breast and prostate cancer prevention in our community. Our runway will be one of hope, and love.
About POCF
The Praise Out Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with the mission to provide help and inspire hope to help all who are impacted by breast and prostate cancer through education, and support.
Since 2017, Praise Out Cancer’s annual fundraising event, has honored Breast and Prostate Cancer Awareness Months. With the funds we raise, we are able to help the Roper St. Francis Cancer Center (Charleston), Zero – The End of Prostate Cancer (Columbia), and other organizations in our area that are providing diagnostic services, and educational resources to underserved women and men throughout our community.
We are here to assist cancer patients in the midst of their battle, offering our help and encouragement and doing what we can to support them as they go into the fight of their lives. We want to remind them how much God loves them, how important they are to God, and how important they are to others around them. We want to serve them in whatever ways we can.
That’s why POCF launched our Praise Out Cancer Grant. Our POC Grant is Praise Out Cancer’s financial fund that seeks to help minimize a small portion of the burdens that come with breast and prostate cancer treatment, so that patients may focus on recovery and survivorship. We just want to help lift someone’s spirits and make life a little more “normal”.

Our Spokesperson Says...
POC Spokesperson Malqueen Rivers
"Wearing pink means I care, but raising funds and motivating others says I want to make a difference"
My involvement with the fight to find a cure for breast and prostate cancer goes beyond wearing pink or blue. In fact, just wearing pink or blue ribbons is not enough. One must be committed to raising funds and motivating others too. Therefore, we must remember our overall goal is to help those with breast and prostate cancer celebrate another birthday.
I became actively involved with raising awareness and funds for cancer in the fall of 2014. Since that time, I have organized or coordinated many school as well as community activities to raise funds and awareness. I have organized a community cancer awareness walk. Also, for 5 years I have participated in the Cooper River Walk/Run (6.2 miles) as a fundraiser for cancer and other illnesses.
I am so grateful for the mission God has given me. So, join us as we Praise Out Cancer!
Join the Faces Behind The Ribbons
Faces Behind The Ribbons – Makes a Difference
The Faces Behind The Ribbons is organized with the single purpose of providing support and promoting the efforts of the Praise Out Cancer Foundation (POCF). The goal of the Faces Behind The Ribbons is to generate community support for local cancer centers in their efforts to find cures for cancer, educate the people of South Carolina on cancer prevention, and improve the quality of life of those diagnosed with cancer.
The Faces Behind The Ribbons volunteers are ordinary people from all walks of life who have a strong interest in volunteering their time to work with POCF. Many of them have been touched by cancer in some way. Some are cancer survivors; others have had a loved one with cancer and have been profoundly affected by the experience.
That’s why the Faces Behind The Ribbons are committed to funding innovative programs that ease the burden of living with cancer, such as the Praise Out Cancer Grant. Because of financial support from the Faces Behind The Ribbons, the Praise Out Cancer Foundation is able to increase the level of awareness and the impact of prevention and early detection to our communities.
Please join us and make a difference in someone’s life.
