Your path to breast health. Our future without breast cancer.

 

Register now, for Saturday, December 11 - the NEXT GENERATION of Sisters for the Cure!

 

Sisters for the Cure is a FREE event, offering education about breast health and breast cancer, critical resources, and a sisterhood of support, as, together, we build a strong network of hope and healing in the African American Community.

 

Now offering two general assembly seminars plus specialized-group sessions, the 2010 Sisters for the Cure has been designed to meet the growing diversity of needs in the African-American community. Whether you are breast cancer survivor, taking the breast cancer journey with a loved one, or being proactive in your own breast health, we will:

  • Put you on the path to breast health.
  • Empower you with the tools to follow that path.
  • Take us-and our children-to the ultimate destination of a world without breast cancer.

Through our large-group and specialized-group sessions, Sisters for the Cure will put you on the path to breast health, empower you with the tools to follow that path, and take us -- and our children -- to the ultimate destination: a world without breast cancer.
