Advocacy in Action:Voices for a Cure
Fighting Cancer Starts with Us: Learn, Support, Take Action
From Gown to Global Education
To bridge the gap between medical crisis and classroom understanding, Giuliana collaborated on a comprehensive cancer education video. She produced the project alongside a childhood cancer survivor, for whom she had personally sewn a gown during her Leukemia treatments. Together, they wrote the script and handled the filming to bring this story to life
A District Approved Curriculum Recognizing the video’s impact on public health and emotional wellness, the Superintendent has approved the film to be integrated into the health class curriculum for the Howell School District and Freehold Township School District.
what the video teaches:
Breaking down what cancer is and explaining various types of pediatric cancers.
Firsthand accounts of the physical and emotional battle of fighting cancer.
Actionable ways for students to support friends or family members navigating a diagnosis.
Exploring cancer as a broader public health issue and addressing the deep emotional impacts on patients.
Through this collaborative curriculum approved video, we have reached over twelve thousand students, fostering empathy and awareness in health classrooms.
Bring This Mission to Your Classroom
Because this video was created in collaboration with a childhood cancer survivor and designed specifically for health curriculum standards, we offer it as a resource for educators and student leaders looking to foster empathy and public health awareness.

Community Advocacy: Keeping Awareness in Bloom
While legislative change happens at the Capitol, awareness begins at home. Giuliana and Audrina believe that advocacy is a year round commitment to ensuring the community never forgets the faces behind the statistics.
Every year, the sisters participate in Bows for Hope, a visual testament to the strength of pediatric cancer warriors. As part of this tradition, they personally place cancer awareness ribbons at Freehold Town Hall, transforming a public space into a powerful reminder of the fight for a cure.
These local acts of service serve as the foundation for their global mission. By tying ribbons in their own hometown, they honor their cousin Giada and every child currently navigating a medical journey, ensuring their stories are seen by neighbors and leaders alike.
