UPCOMING EVENTS
WHAT WILL YOUR 2ND ACT LOOK LIKE?
A 2nd Act Grant Recipients
What a night of celebration it was! Five amazing women and organizations were recognized for their commitment to give back to the greater good in their 2nd Acts! All of our fundraising allows us to make annual micro grants. When you’ve identified YOUR 2nd Act, money should not be a barrier to experience the magic healing in helping others!
A 2nd Act is Raising the Bar in Storytelling!
Large or small. Cancer related or not. Creating something from the ground up or performing random acts of kindness. These are all fabulous examples of 2nd Acts shared on our stages. Visit our performance galleries and Purple Tribe page to see how 50 women have inspired audiences to create their own 2nd Acts!
Change YOUR Question from Why Me? to What's Next!
The 2nd Act Workshops are not support groups – they’re the discovery of how your skills, passions and cancer experience uniquely qualify you for A 2nd Act. You’ll receive everything you need: a bound workbook, lots of inspiration and motivation, and a customized plan to create your 2nd Act. Check out our calendar for upcoming dates and locations!

General SurvivorshipJune 20, 2019
Now those are words you don't often expect to hear associated with a bank. Since the birth of A 2nd Act, National Bank of Arizona has been so very supportive. But when they asked to us a part of their Arizona Business Today, did a photo shoot, a video, a print story, AND radio spots, all with A 2nd Act as the focus, we realized they weren't just a great place to stash our cash! We hope you'll get the picture as you read and watch. And while we use them for their non-profit banking program, they work with for profit companies and individuals as well (hint, hint!)
