Headquartered in Frisco, TX and with a reach across the country, National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) has been supporting women affected by Breast Cancer through early detection, education and supportive services for nearly 30 years.
Thrive Causemetics® was honored to chat with our friend Danae Johnson of NBCF about our Giving Partnership and how our customers play a huge part in their work!
How has NBCF’s partnership with Thrive Causemetics® impacted the women you serve?
Thrive Causemetics® donated to our organization, giving us the opportunity to provide women with a tangible expression of hope through our Hope Kit program and outreach events across the country.
Each item in the Hope Kit is thoughtfully hand selected to ease potential side effects and provide comfort to women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
How does Breast Cancer impact someone’s self-confidence?
Many women experience an initial shock after they are diagnosed. A common remark I hear is “I never thought this would happen to me.” There are fears of the unknown and unanswered questions. It’s hard to trust yourself when you’ve never walked down that specific road. Insecurities about body image are prevalent, but true beauty starts within. So surround yourself with those that encourage you and help you feel beautiful.
How are women impacted by donations made possible by the Thrive Causemetics® Customers?
You are empowering women through the gift of high-quality makeup. However, it is so much more than makeup. You are extending hope just like NBCF by enabling women to recognize their value and worth, and allowing their inner beauty to shine.
What are some highlights from your partnership with Thrive Causemetics®?
We had a makeover event at NBCF’s headquarters to help breast cancer patients feel beautiful. These women were in treatment and had been focusing on fighting for their lives for months. Our collective goal was to make the day all about them and empower them to see the beauty in their strength. The smiles and tears of joy when they looked at themselves in the mirror were priceless.
What does it mean to “Thrive” at NBCF?
Living a life of hope even when you are in a season of despair. Never giving up, even when the journey is difficult, and making the most of every day.
About Our Giving
Thrive Causemetics® is proud to partner with incredible organizations across the country to bring the power of beauty to women overcoming remarkable challenges. Thrive Causemetics® works with hundreds of partner organizations that empower women who are fighting cancer, surviving domestic abuse, emerging from homelessness, or adjusting to life outside the uniform.

I feel this is one of the most important projects the beauty industry can support. Cancer affects physical health, mental health, self esteem and the pain and suffering is substantial. Giving back dignity by making ladies feel pretty after losing hair, is a big deal.

@Ronda Thanks for reaching out. We’re definitely sending you positive vibes! :) At this time we don’t donate on an individual basis. However, if you’re a part of a nonprofit organization, or have one in mind, we’d love to hear from them during our open enrollment period. Please have them check out our Giving Partner Application section. If the organization looks like they’re a good fit, our team will connect with them directly to explore a potential partnership!

I had a similar surprise from a couple of earlier contributors in finding out that not only did I have breast cancer, but that I had Stage 3 breast cancer at first diagnosis. I SURVIVED, and I hope all of you will, too. It will be 5 years in November and THRIVE mascara has been a great source of restoring my self-esteem. Thank you.

After recently reading some reviews from young women about the quality of your products, I came to your website and was floored to find out how many charities in addition to Cancer you support. It reminded me of friends and relatives who had cancer and mentioned how uplifting beauty workshops were during their treatment. I will be buying your products and will further support some of your charities. Thank you for all you do.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in February 2020 just in time for covid, I had chemo and radiation and I will say it was extremely hard to keep a smile on at all times, losing my hair was really the worst. I am still struggling with hair growth and eyelash and eyebrow growth and its 2 years later. I saw and ad on Tik Tok for thrive so this is my first purchase I am very excited to say the least after reading all the wonderful comments knowing that the purchase helps a great cause.

I first became aware of Thrive because of the products included in my cousin’s Cancer Care basket given her at the hospital following masectomy surgery for breast cancer. I was her primary support during her treatment.
The products included addressed upcoming hair loss as a result of surgery – eye liner, eyebrow pencil, cheek/lip color, and a few other things. It was such an incredibly uplifting gift and the staying power of the color such a welcome relief for recovery.
I began ordering product, and now use Thrive – the only brand in my cosmetic bag – as I love the qualify, color offerings, and the way Thrive gives back to women at one of the most challenging times in their life. Thank you, thank you, and ever thanks!
PS My cousin is cancer free one year post surgery!!!! The biggest gift of all.

I love your excellent CRUELTY FREE / Vegan / natural products and SO APPRECIATE that you donate for many worthy causes.
Please be aware that many Cancer Organizations are involved with animal experimentation .
I hope your precious funds do not support the horrific cruelty
of animals by Cancer Organizations.
Please investigate this and I look forward to your response.
Thank you,

I was first diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3 triple negative breast cancer in February of 2021. I was given a little care package with some eyeshadow, blush and mascara. I was unable to use it for several months during treatment but now I can and I love seeing color back in my face. Sometimes all you need to feel a little better is to just look a little better. Thank you so much. I love these products ❤️

Hello Thrive,
2019 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. While on treatments I was so down, I remember one day one of the social worker hand me a gift bag. Inside the bag is a Thrive cosmetics. I didn’t realized it until today when I came across a demo on Thrive eye shadow on Instagram . I google it and it look like the one I have. I love it. Thank you so much for making me feel good and beautiful. And, supporting breast cancer patients.

Thank you for supporting Breast Cancer organizations. I received some of your products at different breast cancer events and really loved feeling spoiled and pampered with your gifts. As someone who didn’t wear much makeup before cancer, it was fun to try new things. I felt great knowing that your products have safer ingredients than other brands. I really appreciated trying your products and plan on buying replacements when they are finished.

Thank you Thrive for seeing your website. I am impressed with all that you are doing to help with breast cancer. I am a three-time survivor within three years. I was very positive and had breast, ovarian, and squamous cell. I was very blessed with a wonderful network of many warriors that instill more hope in my journey.
I love your devotion and what you are represent.
God Bless You!
