The Melissa & Jimmy Boratyn Foundation was born from the success of the feature film Ginger. Ginger has screened in several cities breaking the ice on difficult conversations, giving a voice to those who feel most alone, building community, and raising thousands of dollars in the process.
At every screening we invite oncologists, social workers, survivors, and anyone else who we believe can help make cancer suck a little less to speak to our audiences.
Ginger covered topics such as being young with cancer, struggling with finances, and the stress cancer can bring to friendships. Building on that success, we have begun working on Live Slow, Die Whenever which will continue Ginger’s journey of living with cancer and encourage conversation around the challenges cancer can cause to relationships between couples as well as the caregivers journey.
