About our founder

Even though Pink Heart Funds founder, JoAn Niceley, retired from her duties this past year, our Board of Directors continue the good works she inspired us to do. 

JoAn knows first-hand the emotional and psychological impact of cancer and the determination necessary to get through diagnosis, treatment and recovery.  

A hairstylist since 1978, JoAn was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2002 and has dedicated her life to helping others receiving cancer treatment.  Prior to her diagnosis, she was assisting women with cancer find comfortable, natural looking wigs. Pink Heart Funds Center provides a place for cancer patients to relax in a comfortable and private atmosphere.
