Meet the Team
Meet the dedicated leaders of our non-profit organization.
Erin Cooper
Queens Against Cancer, Inc. is guided by the leadership of President & Founder Erin Cooper, whose personal experience as a breast cancer survivor brings a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those in the fight.
Drawing on her visibility as the former Mrs. California United States 2024, Erin has helped shine a spotlight on the importance of early detection, support, and confidence-restoring resources for patients and survivors.
​
Under her leadership, Queens Against Cancer has become a platform that empowers survivors, uplifts thrivers, and mobilizes community action. Erin’s resilience reflects the strength of countless women impacted by breast cancer, and her dedication continues to inspire volunteers, donors, and partners to join together in making a difference.
​
Erin’s own journey began when she was first diagnosed at just 25 years old while 8 months pregnant. Two years later, at 27, she faced a stage 4 diagnosis. Today, she celebrates five years of being cancer-free. Her experience reminds us that while the path can be daunting, hope and community make all the difference.
