Carrying the Vision Forward.

For Dr. Piper Farrell, the work of the tgin Foundation is deeply personal.As Chris-Tia Donaldson’s sister and caregiver, Dr. Farrell witnessed firsthand both the strength her sister brought to her breast cancer journey and the barriers too many women face when navigating diagnosis, treatment, and care.

After Chris-Tia’s passing, Dr. Farrell made a promise to carry her sister’s vision forward. Today, she leads the tgin Foundation into its next chapter, working to expand access to breast health education, resources, and support while addressing disparities that can prevent women and families from receiving the care they need.

Dr. Farrell brings a multidisciplinary background spanning education, research, healthcare, and business leadership to the Foundation. She holds a Ph.D. in Education Evaluation and Research from Wayne State University and has held leadership roles across education and healthcare. She also serves as Chief Operating Officer of Thank God It’s Natural (tgin®), where she continues to advance the legacy of her sister and tgin® founder, Chris-Tia Donaldson.

Across both tgin® and the tgin Foundation, her leadership is grounded in a commitment to empowering women, strengthening communities, and creating greater access to opportunity and care.

“After her passing, I made a promise to carry her vision forward.”

“It really changed my life in terms of wanting to be an advocate for those women who didn’t have that same luxury.”

The Woman Who Started It All

Chris-Tia Donaldson was an entrepreneur, attorney, author, and the founder of Thank God It’s Natural (tgin®). But her impact extended far beyond the company she built.

At just 36 years old, Chris-Tia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her experience gave her a deeply personal understanding of how access to information, quality care, resources, and support can shape a woman’s journey. She transformed that experience into purpose.

Chris-Tia became an advocate for women who did not always have access to the same resources and support, using her voice and platform to break generational silence around breast health, encourage early detection, and expand access to care for women too often overlooked.

That commitment became the foundation of the tgin Foundation and continues to guide the work today.
