Kelly Kashmer
Kelly Kashmer is the founder and Executive Director of NothingPink, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about hereditary breast and ovarian cancers while providing personalized support to individuals at high risk. Her journey began with a life-altering diagnosis of Stage II Triple Negative Breast Cancer, just two weeks after learning she carried the BRCA2 gene mutation. Following intensive chemotherapy and enduring 11 surgeries, Kelly channeled her experience and determination into founding NothingPink as a 501(c)(3) organization. Since then, she has tirelessly led the organization with a mission to empower others through education, advocacy, and support, making a profound impact on the lives of women in her community.
At NothingPink, we are committed to empowering individuals
and families affected by hereditary breast and gynecological cancers.
