We are a circle of women…., all coming from different parts of the country with different backgrounds and different ideas on life AND ALL having been affected by breast cancer in different ways. Our circle is made up of unconditional love, support and pure real friendship that has been tried and tested. We are so blessed and acknowledge there are many women that don’t get to experience the kind of safety we have with one another. Because of this uniqueness, we want to share with others some of our good fortune….particularly those of you that have been thrown into battle against breast cancer.
We have had the honor to support friends and loved ones through the difficult path of breast cancer treatment. When our Impact One founder and best friend, Elizabeth Cluff, was diagnosed with breast cancer, we experienced firsthand the need to have others to lean on. We saw, up close, the physical, emotional, and financial burden this trial carries and we had previously misunderstood the number of surgeries and treatments that can be involved. We witnessed the limited “in the now” resources available that provide the comfort and dignity you deserve. This is where Impact One comes in! Because of our experiences, we have made it our goal to Impact One individual fighter at a time….to Impact YOU!
Beyond just our circle of four, Impact One has a wealth of knowledge on its team. We have a certified mastectomy fitter with over 500 hours of experience. We have survivors, health care providers, working professionals, caretakers, or simply friends of those diagnosed on our board.
We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for female breast cancer fighters. Our Impact One circle believes that no woman should have to battle cancer alone. Our program is designed to make sure you get proper support, products, and resources that will help eliminate some of the financial burdens. The most important thing we want to give you is our friendship. Welcome to the Impact One circle!
Impact One Breast Cancer Foundation will provide prompt support and resources to those impacted by breast cancer.
Our vision is to alleviate the burden experienced by women during breast cancer treatment and recovery by offering prosthesis, bras, wigs, and post-surgical garments.
At Impact One, our goal is to IMPACT each individual woman, meeting her wherever she finds herself in her personal breast cancer recovery journey.
Impact One will connect directly with a breast cancer patient to provide:
Needed functional items to support their physical and emotional recovery
Help to obtain breast cancer screening information
Education and information on breast health as well as breast cancer

Elizabeth Ayers-Cluff received her BSW in the School of Social Work from Arizona State University. After graduating, she had the pleasure of working with “at-risk students” in the Mesa Unified School District for 14 years. This brought her much satisfaction and joy and ignited her love for making a difference in another’s life. In the past 5 years, she has also worked in different capacities with various other organizations volunteering and working directly with women related to breast cancer.
Elizabeth orginally began her battle with stage 3B breast cancer in 2009. At the age of 37 with her husband and 3 small children, she was blindsided by the diagnosis. After struggling through the initial mastectomy recovery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments, she began what would become an arduous journey through reconstruction. Her journey brought many challenges for both her and her family during that time in their lives. Now living with stage IV metastatic breast cancer, she continues to fight personally while remaining committed to serving others, believing that through service she finds healing.
Elizabeth relates to the many stages of the breast cancer journey. She understands the setbacks and lack of resources available. She empathizes with feeling helpless with all the ins and outs of breast cancer treatment and the physical and emotional pain that accompanies it. Out of her frustration came to research and a learning process that Elizabeth now wants to share with you. She knows the importance of establishing a support system and wants Impact One to be part of yours.
Currently, in remission, Elizabeth’s drive to push Impact One comes from personal experience and her desire to serve. She is ready to share resources that are not readily available to most. She has a need for you as survivors to feel you are worthy of the proper care through what can be a dehumanizing time. This nonprofit was founded to empower you with self-worth, comfort, and beauty at a time when your whole world can seem turned upside down.
Through Impact One, Elizabeth’s dream is to say “If we can Impact One breast cancer fighter, then we have done our job!”
