The Robin Latimore Foundation was birthed from a chance encounter. After reuniting with a college roommate, Atlanta vocalist Robin Latimore soon discovered that her friend’s bald head was due to cancer treatments. Always someone who ate right, boasted a healthy physique and looked the picture health, her friend shared that she was battling breast cancer. That’s when Latimore realized that cancer has no respect of person, age or lifestyle. She educated herself and committed to educating others. From her desire to increase awareness and preventive measures, Latimore launched a musical extravaganza to reach the masses with her message of knowledge and support. “If during one of my shows at least one person learns how to become more aware of what's going on with their body and preventive measures to stop cancer before it spreads, then I'm happy,” says Latimore. “But it's my endeavor to reach the masses and be a source of support for those survivors who may be having financial difficulties due to the extraordinary cost of medicines, doctor visits, special foods, etc.” From that simple chance encounter sprang the Robin Latimore Foundation, a nonprofit that strives to provide scholarships and stipends to assist and celebrate cancer survivors and their family and friends. The mission of the Robin Latimore Foundation is to provide scholarships and stipends to cancer survivors, caregivers and children. Stipends will assist survivors in transitioning back into everyday life following treatment and enable caregivers to continue assisting them in their daily wellness journey. Scholarships will be provided annually to further the education of students who are undergoing treatment or who have a parent undergoing treatment. We accomplish this mission through community outreach, awareness campaigns and special events.
It is the vision of the Robin Latimore Foundation to see cancer eradicated – a world free of the pain and suffering of this disease. Until that happens, we strive to minimize the negative impact cancer has on patients, their families and caregivers. We envision that each family affected by this disease will see themselves as victorious. They will know that they are supported, encouraged and empowered, and that our community rallies behind them. The Robin Latimore Foundation will celebrate their triumph over adversity and their victory over cancer.
