Join Legacy Cancer Institute for an informative and empowering community event.
Together, in partnership with The Pink Lemonade Project, we’ll explore how we can improve breast cancer care and the outcomes for Black women — and why your participation in changing the odds matters.
Learn about the role of prevention, screening, genetics, treatment, clinical research, as well as the disparities faced by Black women. There will even be an energizing group dance activity to inspire participants.

Why this conversation is important
Despite advances in care, Black women have a 40% higher breast cancer mortality rate than other women.
This event hopes to raise awareness, encourage informed decision-making, and foster conversations about prevention, screening, treatment and research participation.
Our goal: to improve outcomes and save lives.
