Exploring how patient stories can help the Emily Whitehead Foundation expand the conversation around curative medicine, advanced therapies, and the lives they are changing.

An opportunity to build on a powerful storytelling foundation

The emily whitehead foundation

The Emily Whitehead Foundation has an extraordinary story and platform. The opportunity is to continue to build on that history with an expanded patient storytelling approach, and one that reflects the Foundation’s growing role across advanced therapies and creates meaningful content that can engage audiences throughout the year.

Expand the Story

Build beyond Emily’s story by sharing the experiences of patients and families across diseases, treatments and advanced therapies.

Connect the Stories

Bring individual patient stories together to tell a larger story about EWF's mission and the growing possibilities of advanced therapies.

Extend the Life

Create stories around moments like the Believe Ball that can live far beyond a single event, reaching audiences throughout the year.

Case Study: RUNWAY FOR RECOVERY

Runway for Recovery is a nonprofit that supports families impacted by breast cancer. Each year, they host runway shows that bring communities together to raise funds and awareness for the mission. Those who take the runway are women who are fighting or have fought breast cancer, along with family and friends walking in support, or in memory of, someone they love.
