Our Mission:
Sisters Network® Inc. is committed to increasing local and national attention to the devastating impact that breast cancer has in the Black community. 

Established in 2006, Sisters Network® Inc. Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP) is a national financial assistance program for breast cancer survivors in active treatment. The program also has an early detection component providing mammograms for underserved and uninsured women.  In 2022, the Breast Cancer Assistance Program was renamed Karen E. Jackson Breast Cancer Assistance Program in recognition and honor of the Founder's legacy in the fight against breast cancer.

The BCAP has provided nearly $1.2 million dollars in financial assistance and mammograms for thousands of women since its inception. A portion of the funds raised from the annual Stop the Silence 5K Walk/Run help support the Breast Cancer Assistance Program each year. The program is open twice a year in the Spring and Fall.
