Supporting children and families through cancer and grief in Edgecombe County, North Carolina.
Carry the Ribbon was founded in honor of a mother taken too soon by cancer — Brilynn Harrell's mom. What began as personal grief became a shared mission for Brilynn, John Michael Pollard, and Jackson Pollard: to carry her memory forward by standing beside other families in Edgecombe County facing cancer, one drive and one small act of care at a time.
We show up for families facing cancer and grief in Edgecombe County — through hands-on drives, direct support, and outreach that keeps growing as needs come up.
We host community blood drives to help keep blood on hand for patients in treatment.
We collect and deliver care packages to patients at Duke Cancer Center.
Coming this December — collecting teddy bears to bring comfort to patients and families.
These are just a few of the ways we're showing up right now — See All Our Programs
Whether you can give an hour, an item, or a dollar — every bit helps a family carrying a heavy load.
