ABOUT THE CHARGE UP CAMPAIGN

The Charge Up Campaign was created by Charessa Sawyer, owner of SC Visionary Services, as a testament to her own personal experience in being the caregiver for her mother, who is also a cancer survivor. She says that seeing firsthand how the disease can impact the self-esteem, finances and day to day living for individuals while they are battling cancer led her to give back in a way the celebrates them for their strength and perseverance. The Charge Up Campaign also hosts the Pink Road Trip, a traveling Day of Celebration providing makeovers and photo shoots for survivors and caregivers. The campaign is expanding to develop support programs for social, economic and other medical-related causes.
