FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
Greetings,
As we “Celebrate 19 Years of Survivorship,” I am reflecting on the many accomplishments of
Sisters Network® Inc., and the lifesaving breast cancer outreach work that our national network of
African American breast cancer survivors continue to do each and every day. I can say that I am
truly proud and honored to be in the company of my Sisters.
For two decades, Sisters Network national office, our affiliate membership base, friends &
family have worked diligently to lay a strong foundation for our organization. The year 2013
was no exception. Sisters Network formed new community partnerships, expanded outreach
initiatives, created new national initiatives and took our leadership and advocacy work to the
next level all while remaining fiscally strong. Sisters Network is fortunate and grateful that our
various streams of financial and volunteer support have been maintained allowing us to continue
to focus on our very important national mission of educating African American women about the
devastating impact of breast cancer and saving lives.
As the CEO of a nationally recognized organization, I am still in awe by the lives that
Sisters Network touches every day whether it is through our chapter survivor socials; national
outreach initiatives; providing funds to survivors and free mammograms for those who are un/
underinsured through our Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP); or walking in unity with
survivors, their families and the community during Sisters Network Stop the Silence Annual
Breast Cancer 5k walk/run.
While we continue to be grateful for the many successes we experience; there are some losses
that we experience as well. When I receive a call that we have lost another sister to breast cancer,
it saddens me; however, it is also what inspires me and all of our members to keep going in our
fight against breast cancer.
As you review Sisters Network 2013 annual report, I ask you to join me as I renew my
pledge and commitment to breast cancer survivorship, Sisters Network® Inc. and educating the
community. The African American woman’s breast cancer issue is our story, our lives and
our legacy.
Our commitment to serving the African American community and providing exceptional
support, resources, and financial assistance is who we are as a sisterhood organization and I
know, together, we can and will “STOP THE SILENCE®.”
Karen
In sisterhood and survivorship,
Karen E. Jackson

PINK RIBBON AWARENESS INITIATIVE
The pink ribbon is the national symbol for breast cancer awareness. The Pink Ribbon
Awareness Initiative is Sisters’ national faith-based educational outreach program that
reaches women in church with information on how to access breast care services and
resources. The focus of this outreach is to increase the number of women obtaining
mammograms and heighten their general knowledge. Sisters Network® Inc. (SNI) affiliate
chapter members and community volunteers disseminate information on breast cancer
to African American churches across the United States. SNI members give testimonies as
survivor role models to encourage and inspire.
STOP THE SILENCE® 1ST NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN BREAST CANCER 5K WALK
In April, 2010 Sisters Network Inc. made history again by hosting the 1st National
African American Breast Cancer 5K Walk /Run in Houston. The Stop the Silence® 5K
Walk/Run attracted over 4,500 participants. Funds raised from Stop the Silence®
will benefit Sisters Network® Inc. Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP), which
provides support to women facing financial challenges after breast cancer diagnosis.
This program offers financial support for mammograms, medical related lodging,
co-pay; office visits, prescriptions, and transportation.
BREAST CANCER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (BCAP)
The Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP) provides services to women facing
financial challenges. The BCAP program provides financial assistance for but not
limited to: medical related lodging, co-pay, office visits and prosthesis. This program
also provides FREE mammograms for those who qualify.
TWEENS 4 PINK
This program is designed to educate tweens, girls ages 12-16, about the
importance of breast health and equip them to become breast health ambassadors
for their family members. Tweens will be reached through collaborations between
Sisters Network® Inc. (SNI) and organizations within the community that have
existing programs geared towards tween girls. Tweens in Pink consists of a
presentation and a take-home component for the tweens. Tweens will be asked
to collect data from women, blood relatives, in their families and input their
information in a designated location on the SNI website. Incentives will be offered
for the tween/group of tweens who reach their target number by the date assigned.

GIFT FOR LIFE BLOCK WALK®
This nationally recognized educational outreach initiative is the Sisters Network®
Inc. “Gift for Life Block Walk®”. During the months of September or October the
affiliate chapters of Sisters Network Inc. collaborate with organizations, community
groups, and volunteers to coordinate the promotion of breast health awareness
in the African American community. This unique and innovative program allows
a breast cancer survivor to partner with a volunteer and canvass door-to-door in
the African American community to distribute breast health education brochures
and resource information. The community has an opportunity to meet survivors,
hear their stories, and experience their triumph over breast cancer. Individuals are
invited to the event site to enjoy refreshments, visit breast cancer-related agencies
and learn more about the resources and services available in their community. Free
Mammography screenings are also offered by a mobile unit at select event sites.
YOUNG SISTERS INITIATIVE (YSI)
African American women are being diagnosed with breast cancer at an early age. In
an effort to address the needs of these women, Sisters Network® Inc. launched the
Young Sisters Initiative (YSI). This program is designed to reach women diagnosed
with breast cancer under the age of 45.
NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN BREAST CANCER CONFERENCE
In 1999, Sisters broke new ground by hosting the nation’s only National African
American Breast Cancer Conference which provides a broader scope of knowledge
and addresses the breast cancer survivorship crisis affecting the African American
woman. This national conference which attracts more than 500 participants, including
nationally recognized medical experts, has been held in metropolitan cities such as;
Houston, Atlanta, Detroit, Richmond, VA, Baton Rouge, LA and Chicago.
FIRST LADIES BRUNCH
The purpose of the brunch is to provide a forum to educate the faith based
community on breast health issues affecting African American women in the
Houston community and the pivotal role played by Sisters Network Inc. in this
educational process. Research shows that in the African American community
women are the care providers. Sisters Network is a viable resource to churches
in the community. The First Ladies Brunch will be implemented across the United
States by Sisters Network Affiliate Chapters.
ADVOCACY - 501 H
In 2011 Sisters Network will launch its advocacy program. This initiative will afford
Sisters Network the opportunity to be more vocal as it relates to legislative policies
in the areas of breast cancer clinical trials, treatment and survivorship. Using our
existing constituency, coupled with our database of existing local, national and state
African American organizations we will increase our outreach efforts and mobilize
African American breast cancer survivors from across the United States.
