Wrapping Up 2025
December 18, 2025
As TogetHER closes out the year, we like to take a moment to reflect on what we and our partners have accomplished, and highlight some other causes our team is passionate about.
It has been an especially difficult year for global women’s health – and an important year to stay in the fight. Some highlights from TogetHER’s 2025 include:
- Putting a spotlight on the dedicated practitioners and advocates doing their part to end cervical cancer deaths through our Voices TogetHER series.
- Partnering with the Commonwealth Secretariat and Roche Diagnostics to make the case for balanced global investment in cervical cancer prevention.
- Enlisting a classic feminist icon to the cause of cervical cancer elimination.
- Welcoming a revitalized group of advisors from around the world.
- Having critical face-to-face conversations with global development advocates at the Skoll Forum and Congressional staffers on Capitol Hill.
- Reviewing 365 applications to our Cervical Cancer Grants Program and selecting six exciting and inspirational projects across 60 countries, our most geographically diverse cohort yet.
- Publishing an in-depth report with our partners at the APAC Women’s Cancer Coalition on how Vietnam can get on track to end cervical cancer.
- Releasing our annual analysis of the global funding landscape for cervical cancer elimination, published in partnership with amfAR.
We’re proud of all our small team has accomplished in 2025. The common throughlines of these projects are partnership and a laser-focus on ending this preventable cancer forever, no matter the challenges. We’re grateful to all of our partners and supporters for enabling us to keep fighting this important battle.
Finally, we’ll close the year with a little goodwill toward the wider world. The TogetHER team ends each year with a “charity exchange” where each of us asks a fellow staffer to support a few non-cervical cancer causes, and we like to share those with our wider stakeholders. Here’s our list this year:
- Heather (Birmingham, AL): Second Shift Alabama, Fresh Air Family
- Kathy (Berkeley, CA): Insight Housing, Marine Mammal Center
