Sisters Conquering Cancer Inc.

Sisters Conquering Cancer Inc. We are “Conquerors” because we have not only survived, but we are victorious in this battle against cancer.

Sisters Conquering Cancer was founded in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2009 by a group of African American women dedicated to increasing cancer awareness in the African American community. Women who have been diagnosed with cancer and women who support/advocate for individuals with cancer work together in Sisters Conquering Cancer developing projects and activities that support, educate, and connect with the community.
