Ellie Fund Partnership
UndercoverWear is proud to announce our partnership with The Ellie Fund, an organization dedicated not only to fighting breast cancer, but to providing help for women and their families who are dealing with the everyday effects of the disease. Not only will UndercoverWear provide our support through product donation, sponsorship of special events, and creating awareness, but we have designed an exclusive sleepwear item promoting HOPE in the face of adversity for our upcoming catalog with ALL proceeds going to The Ellie Fund!
About The Ellie Fund
The Mission of The Ellie Fund is to fight breast cancer and ease its effects on patients and families across Massachusetts.
Each year approximately 180,000 American women are diagnosed with breast cancer. In Massachusetts alone there are approximately 4,500 newly diagnosed cases and more than 1,100 deaths.
Almost everyone knows a woman whose life has been threatened or who has died from the disease. Breast cancer is the leading cancer cause of death for women between the ages of 35 and 54 and one out of seven women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
The Ellie Fund, founded in 1994, is a non-profit organization that has served many roles over the years. In the past, we have supported breast cancer research, provided community awareness and outreach, and awarded scholarships to students.
Currently, we host an innovative program called Care for the Caregiver.

Care for the Caregiver Program
Care for the Caregiver supports women and families who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer by helping them with their daily activities: transportation to medical appointments, housecleaning, groceries, and daycare, thereby enabling them to channel the majority of their energy into battling this disease.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, these services are offered to patients and families completely free of charge.
Whether women undergoing treatment live alone or are the primary caregiver for their family, it is our belief that by nurturing women nutritionally and helping to ease the burden of their daily activities, we will be helping them in their battle against breast cancer.
