The WHIP Legacy

2015

Walking to Honor those in Pink (WHIP) was established in October 2015.
W.H.I.P. (originally Walking to Honor those In Pink) was founded following the organization of a breast cancer walk in October 2015. The event commenced in West Point, Georgia, proceeded into Lanett, Alabama, and concluded with a return to the John D. Hoggs Pavilion in West Point, Georgia. Due to the overwhelming response advocating for an annual walk, it was additionally suggested to initiate a local support group. At the first meeting, primarily attended by breast cancer survivors, Walking to Honor those In Pink evolved into Working to Help those In Pink.
In 2016, a board was established, and W.H.I.P. formed a partnership with The Gene Machine of Auburn University (August 2016).
July 2020, W.H.I.P. was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization as Team WHIP.
In 2021, we proudly began a collaboration with the Forge Survivorship Center. This partnership has flourished, leading to the creation of Saturday Speaks: Coffee and Coping Conversations in 2024, a supportive group that gathers over breakfast. Together, we share HOPE through the inspiring stories of survivors, fostering a sense of community and understanding.

Team W.H.I.P. , located in Lanett, Alabama, is a financial resource to residents of Chambers and Lee Counties of Alabama, as well as West Point in Harris and Troup Counties of Georgia. Team W.H.I.P. serves a community focused on breast health and supporting caregivers. Our efforts are directed towards individuals who can identify and effectively serve our communities with purpose and resources.

The organization is committed to delivering to ALL COMMUNITIES educational, emotional, and social support through a variety of outreach programs and events, aided by community-based partnerships. This mission is made possible by grants, sponsorships, and donations.

Team W.H.I.P. serves as a resource of HOPE and HELP for breast cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers; it is imperative to recognize that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Join us as we uplift one another on this journey of resilience and healing.

"Gratitude has become my greatest teacher, shaping my journey. I am profoundly thankful for a life defined by purpose rather than illness. The support we provide to the breast cancer community is not a service; it is a vital necessity that empowers individuals and fosters hope."

"I initially hesitated to start chemotherapy to the opinions of others. However, after my second treatment, I faced challenges like shingles that affected my daily life. The support from this group has been invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend their assistance. Now, I walk BOLD & CONFIDENT. They have truly been a source of encouragement on my journey."
