| Congratulations 2008 Universal Sisters Honoree |
Congratulations to our founder Deborah J. Green-Boone on being selected as a 2008 Universal Sisters Honoree.
Deborah Green-Boone, the founder and CEO of the National Women of Colors Cancer Foundation, which is headquartered in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a breast cancer survivor, diagnosed in 2001.
Deborah is known by many for her enthusiastic energy, drive, and determination. She is someone willing to learn, and always willing to share and use her expertise to teach and motivate anyone around her.
Seven years ago, the National Women of Colors Cancer Foundation (NWCCF), initiated an outreach program entitled “Pampering the Spirit of Survivors.” This program enables NWCCF to assist recent survivors and their caregivers who are facing challenges associated with their post treatment status.
Upon identifying an individual for pampering, NWCCF delivers a special “Pampering the Spirit” basket, which in addition to monthly “thinking of you cards,” contains an assortment of items paid for by NWCCF and/or sponsors.
Flowers are sent twice a year, and if necessary, and when funds are available from grants and donations, NWCCF will treat survivors and their caregivers in a social outing, and/or provide small grant support to help survivors ease into their new traumatic life. Daily, Deborah demonstrates a strong will to enjoy life, and a dedicated passion for helping people in personal distress.
Deborah Green-Boone is the daughter of Richard (deceased) and Viola L. Green. She is the mother of Leroy L. Boone, Jr. (deceased) Malinda L. Boone and Danette M. Boone. Deborah caters to her 15 grandchildren, and is a member of the Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church.
Deborah is a high-risk taker, willing to risk failure in order to succeed. She has a creative mind and expressive personality. Deborah is elegant in her dress, and approaches people in a warm and friendly manner. She encourages people to do their best, and is always available to hear what they have to say. Whether Deborah is the leader or one of the followers, Deborah is an inspirational team player.
As members of NWCCF we are proud to say that for the last seven years, we have become best friends and colleagues.
Universal Sisters is a signature health program of the National Speaking of Women’s Health Foundation. Universal Sisters is dedicated to educating women of color about the significance of preventive health care.
