Cancer Doesn’t Care, But We Do
Cancer Doesn’t Care, But We Do
In 2015, we launched Dare2Tutu, inviting people to wear tutus like Bob Carey, share photos, and support the breast cancer community. This year, donations of $25+ include a free tutu—so you can join the movement and brighten someone's day.
About The Tutu Project
After Linda Carey’s breast cancer diagnosis, she and her husband Bob faced overwhelming medical costs. To cope, Bob created self-portraits in a pink tutu—photos that brought smiles during chemotherapy and eventually inspired The Tutu Project, founded in 2012 under their nonprofit, The Carey Foundation.
Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of breast cancer patients in the U.S. with everyday essentials like childcare, rides to treatment, groceries, and more—while inspiring thousands around the world to spread joy in a tutu.
Thanks to generous supporters, including partners like Bloomingdale’s and Jet Linx, we continue to make a real impact. But it’s individuals like you who keep it going.
Join us in lifting spirits and easing burdens.
Thank you to all who make this possible.
