Helping Women Survive A Diagnosis |
Happy Thanksgiving!
God is so good
While My Sister My Friend Breast Cancer Support continues to provide direct services to women battling breast cancer and their families we are grateful for your support. We could not do what we do without your help. We have and will continue to connect these women to an array of supportive services that promote survivorship, aid in access to care and quality of life. This first starts with meeting their basic needs. This year our efforts and commitments are coupled with a struggling economy. Help us turn Black Friday pink on purpose when you shop My Sister My Friend BCS for gifts or opt to make a yearend cash donation. My Sister My Friend BCS is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Our services are free to the public and your contributions are tax deductible. |

 Kinecta and Nix Are Giving Back A huge thanks to Kinecta and Nix for supporting the communities they serve. Each year they host an Annual Holiday Food Drive in which they support local charitable organizations throughout the community. This year's giving included supporting breast cancer survivors and treatment patients of My Sister My Friend Breast Cancer Support's Group. On November 18, 2012 a number of survivors were recipients of a $75.00 gift cards for Ralphs and a bag of groceries. Happy Holidays we appreciate you! |
