Team Maggie For A Cure  (DBA Team Maggie's Dream)
227 Hillcrest Dr., 
Roswell, GA  30075
Email: teammaggieforacure@gmail.com
Website: https://www.teammaggieforacure.org
Team Maggie started in 2015. The Team Maggie charity came about because of the personal journey of Maggie 
Davis, a 24-year old young woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer in Dec. 2013. One of the added bur-
dens Maggie had to face, after receiving the devastating news that she had breast cancer was the possibility 
of becoming infertile because of the drugs prescribed for treatment. Having to find funding for harvesting and preserving eggs in such a short time for a young adult with no real savings or access to the money needed 
is burdensome. During this journey, the idea was born that there should be a resource available to help young 
women and men in their time of crises: thus Team Maggie, a 501(c) was created.

future. Chemotherapy, Radiation, Surgery and Long Term Drug Therapy often have irreversible effects on a 
woman’s ability to conceive and carry a baby.
