As a breast cancer survivor, Giuliana realized that while she was undergoing treatment, it was the act of getting camera-ready – having her hair and makeup done, putting on beautiful clothes, and receiving the full Hollywood treatment – helped too, serving as its own form of therapy that made her feel less like a patient and more like herself. For her, by indulging in the things that made her look and feel good, Giuliana was able to boost her confidence and optimism, and feel like her best self, even in the midst of her devastating diagnosis. Now, Giuliana wants to give back and help other women battling breast cancer, and, together with The Pink Agenda, empower women to feel their best. We aim to make their most fabulous wishes come true, whether that’s a pair of fancy shoes, concert tickets, dinner parties, or a much deserved trip to the spa.
To date, they have granted over 300 wishes.
Together, Giuliana Rancic’s FAB-U-WISH and The Pink Agenda grant the most fabulous wishes imaginable to women undergoing treatment for this devastating disease. Women residing in the United States who are currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, or who have undergone treatment within the past 12 months, are eligible to apply.
