Our Founding Story
Dorothy's experiences as a 3-time cancer thriver gave her the drive to form The Atrium Foundation. She is an advocate for breast and ovarian cancer awareness, and before dedicating herself to The Atrium Foundation, she was a long-time volunteer for leading cancer organizations where she has given public testimony, fund-raised and volunteered to support their missions. Dorothy’s dedication to building awareness for those impacted by the financial implications of cancer led her to pen her first book, 26 & Fu¢ked.

Abigail & Ellie Aquino’s Story
"My 2-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. I was fired from work because I needed to care for my daughter. We are juggling medical bills, travel expenses to get her treatment, and providing a good meal for my kids. It’s hard to ask for help but the founder of The Atrium Foundation messaged me and offered our family support. They personally reached out to me and talked to us. I felt genuine care and the feeling that we are not alone in this fight. I’m very grateful The Atrium Foundation helped us. "
