Jet Linx Commences Sixth Year Of Breast Cancer Support With The Tutu Project

Our continued involvement with The Tutu Project has provided an inspiring and engaging way for our team, clients and loved ones to contribute to wonderful cause that aligns with our core values. We recognize that this year’s fundraising efforts are more important than ever before given the inevitable stress and concern created by the COVID-19 pandemic for immunocompromised populations, and are dedicated to encouraging as many people as we can to participate in the #Dare2Tutu campaign throughout the month of October.”

Founded by Bob and Linda Carey in 2003, The Tutu Project is a non-profit organization devoted to providing financial assistance for expenses not covered by insurance, such as groceries, utility bills, and transportation to doctor appointments. When Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, Bob began taking photos of himself wearing only a pink tutu in public places to put a smile on Linda’s face. The project went viral in 2012 after an appearance on The Today Show, and led to the establishment of The Tutu Project. As The Tutu Project’s single-largest corporate sponsor in both 2018 and 2019, Jet Linx has raised over $180,000 for The Tutu Project’s #Dare2Tutu campaign since their partnership began in 2015. Due to the incredible success of the 2019 campaign, in January 2020, The Tutu Project was able to launch a pilot grant program to provide financial assistance directly to individuals and families currently fighting breast cancer, instead of distributing funds solely through charity partners.
