Sisters Supporting Sisters-Baton Rouge is a non-profit breast cancer survivorship organization of African American women that was founded in 1996 by 10 breast cancer survivors. Their mission is to provide a safe haven not only for African American women, but all breast cancer survivors, and to educate women about good breast health in East Baton Rouge and surrounding parishes. Our goal is "Transforming Apathy Into Action."
The Louisiana Coalition of African American Breast Cancer Survivors is a non-profit organization, founded in 2004 by Baton Rouge breast cancer survivor Julia B. Moore. There are 13 chapters throughout Louisiana located in Shreveport, Grambling, Monroe, Alexandria, Villa Platte, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Amite, Hammond, Slidell, and New Orleans. Their mission is to increase breast cancer prevention, awareness and maintenance. The group educates women about good breast health through programs, as well as teaching diet, exercise and health maintenance.
While both organizations are continuously supporting breast cancer survivors, we know that post pandemic times reveals that there is more work to be done. The Women’s Conference will be the catalyst for all women to Revive our Resources, Outreach, Support and Education in Post Pandemic Times.
The conference is free of charge and lunch will be provided.
