Barbells for Boobs

Barbells for Boobs is a non-profit organization based in Costa Mesa, California. Founded by Zionna Hanson, the organization is dedicated to supporting athletes diagnosed with breast cancer. With a team of 15 employees, Barbells for Boobs works to raise awareness and provide resources for breast cancer screening and support. The organization's mission is to ensure everyone has access to low-cost breast screening services through its Right to Know (RTK) program. They also offer fitness programs post-diagnosis through their Resources After Diagnosis (RAD) initiative. Barbells for Boobs relies on fundraising efforts from local communities and athletes to achieve its goals. Barbells for Boobs was inspired by the experience of founder Zionna Hanson's friend, Cecy Morales, who was initially denied breast cancer screening services. Cecy's persistence led to the discovery of stage 0 breast cancer, prompting Zionna to create the organization to advocate for accessible breast cancer screening and support.
