This year, our event will be assembly chemo bags for the Firefly Sisterhood: Our Mission: To foster one-to-one connections between women who are impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis and inspirational survivors. They provide one-to-one social and emotional support to women who have been impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis. Founded in the Twin Cities, they support women from coast to coast. The support services are free and delivered at the time of diagnosis, during treatment, and into survivorship. Their goal is a future where no woman faces breast cancer alone.
