Sisters In The Fight

THE FACTS

Breast Cancer is now the most the most common cancer in the world.

This year in the U.S., breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, over 200,000 women will be newly diagnosed and over 40,000 will die.

THE DISPARITIES
In the U.S., Black women die nearly 42% more from breast cancer and are diagnosed younger.

Each day, Black and Latina women are more likely to be diagnosed with more aggressive breast cancer and at a later stage than white women.

In our Nation's Capital, women are diagnosed and die more from breast cancer - women get breast cancer 15% more and die of breast cancer 30% more than the national average.

Signature Events

Be Mine, Galentine!

WHAT? Galentine’s Make, Sip & Share Girls Night

WHEN? Thursday, February 10, 2022 | 7 - 9 PM ET

WHO? Gals from around the world joined together to virtually make, sip, and share to celebrate sisterhood, self-love, and empower each other to advocate to end Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) disparities!

WHY? #ListenUpMBC Love is the thread that ties us together! Black women are diagnosed younger, die more from, and are disproportionately impacted by MBC, yet we often go underrepresented in the conversation on the unique needs of women living with stage 4 breast cancer. We are committed to ending these disparities and empowering advocates to raise their voices to advocate for equity.
