Throughout her life, Mary Kay Ash showed others how to live. And how to give. She gave hope to women who lacked opportunity and self-esteem, and financial support to the causes she believed in. Although her special light is no longer with us, her legacy of love continues through the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation, which she began in 1996. The mission of the MKACF is two-fold:
• We are committed to eliminating cancers affecting women by supporting top medical scientists who are searching for a cure for breast, uterine, cervical and ovarian cancers.
• We are committed to ending the epidemic of violence against women by providing grants to women’s shelters and supporting community outreach programs.
