A community for breast cancer patients, survivors and thrivers
The Licorice Project is a welcoming community for breast cancer patients, survivors, and thrivers. We are dedicated to empowering and embracing women during every stage of their breast cancer journey.
We Connect People
We’re a breast cancer community based in Chicago. Together, women at all stages can find the strength, humor, and friendship they need.
We Share Resources
We make it easier for people to find unique, useful, helpful and inspirational information they need when they need it most.
We Spread Unexpected Joy
Little things can make a BIG difference. That’s why we send out “TLP Treats” to let people know we are thinking about them!

Breast Cancer Resources
We’ve hand-picked resources that we’ve found to be helpful, hopeful, timesaving, inspirational, funny, and more. Here are a few of our favorites. Check out ALL of our selected Resources.
A Community in your Backyard
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. They are your neighbors, your child’s teachers, and the women you pass on the street. You might otherwise never know them or their struggle.
We created The Licorice Project to make it easier to find others on this journey, make friends, share local recommendations, and support one another.
Join The Licorice Project community and you’ll get access to our private Facebook Group. You’ll also receive invitations to our seasonal get-togethers, workshops, + virtual events.
Friends Forever
The best part of The Licorice Project is the people whose lives are positively impacted by what we do. Here they are, in their own words.
Welcome to the club that nobody wants to join. But you will find some amazing silver linings—like a group of wonderful women here to support you along your journey. Please reach out if you have any questions!

I know I could call anyone in this group with a question about anything and they will help find an answer. It’s a fun group of women who deal with difficult topics.

The night before I started my chemo treatments I was surrounded by a community of women who supported me. The Licorice Project has changed my life with new friendships and relationships.
