Our Story
The Know Your Lemons Foundation is an internationally-recognized breast health charity, dedicated to empowering individuals around the world with life-saving breast cancer education. Through innovative and approachable resources, we seek to demystify breast health, eliminate fear and ensure that breast cancer awareness and early detection knowledge is available to everyone, no matter their gender, language or educational background.
Dr. Corrine Ellsworth-Beaumont, PhD MFA is a designer turned health educator, and the visionary behind the Know Your Lemons Foundation. After losing her grandmothers and a close friend to breast cancer, Dr. Beaumont wanted to do something that could save the lives of others. So she put her design skills to work, pursued her PhD in visual information design, and developed the iconic Know Your Lemons campaign. Today, she leads the Foundation with the goal of making breast cancer education clear, accessible and universal. Her work has been featured in the media globally and she has been recognized for her innovative approach to breast cancer awareness, including designing the KnoYour Lemons app which was named the best health and fitness app in the world by the Webby Awards in 2025.
Mission & Vision
Mission
The Know Your Lemons Foundation’s mission is to improve early detection of breast cancer worldwide through creative and empowering education. We do this through three initiatives: Our early detection app, classes taught by trained volunteer educators and our global campaign available on social, in print and online in over 40 languages.
Vision
Our vision is a world where fewer women and men are diagnosed with breast cancer at late stages, because they can more easily recognize and report symptoms and, when no symptoms are apparent, get screened for breast cancer.
Global Impact
Know Your Lemons is the only global charity solely dedicated to the early detection of breast cancer. Our education programs and tools are designed to overcome taboo, fear and literacy issues in a remarkable way that saves lives no matter one’s age, race, literacy level or gender. We truly can educate everyone.
