About Us
The Spirit toThrive
Pink Ribbon Blue Skies Foundation began with a vision founded by Carlise Yvette Charlot through Pink Ribbon Travel, originally providing outreach and assistance to families affected by breast cancer.
As the vision expanded to include prostate cancer awareness and support, Pink Ribbon Blue Skies Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Today, we continue serving individuals and families affected by breast and prostate cancer through compassionate assistance, education, and community outreach.

A Message from Our Founder
“When I began this journey, my desire was simply to make a difference in the lives of families affected by breast cancer. What started through Pink Ribbon Travel grew into a greater vision of hope, compassion, and service.
As that vision expanded to include prostate cancer, Pink Ribbon Blue Skies Foundation became a way to reach more individuals and families in need.
I believe that no family should feel forgotten while navigating cancer. Whether through a meal, assistance with an essential bill, education, or words of encouragement, even the smallest act of compassion can make a lasting difference.
As we continue growing through Journey to Wellness, our commitment to breast and prostate cancer remains at the heart of our mission.
What began as a vision has become a mission, and our work is far from finished.”
