Our Board of Directors plays a key role in shaping Foundation programs and priorities. These community volunteers also provide our primary link to Middle Tennessee business and government groups and to the medical research community.

The Young Professionals Board is a group of dynamic area leaders from fields like communications, retail and healthcare who increase local awareness about the Foundation and assist with fundraising events, primarily in support of our Young Adult Cancer Survivor Retreats.

               Message from Key Holleman

Dear Friends, 

In my ten years with the Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation, we have never been more active or reached out to so many patients and doctors in the fight against cancer. It has been tremendously rewarding to roll up my sleeves and work together with such a committed group of staff and volunteers. 

Thanks to you and your involvement, we are making a substantial difference. We are funding research and drug trials with our world-class network of doctors. We provide hope and support to cancer patients and their families in the most challenging and uncertain of times. Among our new initiatives, we’re also reaching out to the business community to educate employers and coworkers about cancer in the workplace. 

Do you know someone who could benefit from counseling about the realities of cancer and how it affects families? Would you like advice on diet and cooking for someone undergoing treatment for cancer? Are you looking for a good source of reliable information about cancer recovery and survival—including books, articles, and Internet sites? The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation can provide all of these things and more. 

In the coming year, we plan to reach out even further, to help more people, and to make an even bigger difference. If you or someone you know has cancer, we encourage you to give us a call to find out how we can help. Or, if you’d like to volunteer, don’t hesitate to pick up the phone. The Foundation is full of wonderful people who would love to hear from you. 

Best Regards, 

Key Holleman, Chair

Board of Directors
