The Sisters Network Northeast Florida
A portion of the proceeds from The Law Offices of Ron Sholes Sista Strut are donated to Sisters Network® Inc., a National African American Breast Cancer Survivorship Organization.
Sisters Network Northeast Florida is an affiliate chapter of Sisters Network ® Inc., a leading voice and the only national African American breast cancer survivorship organization in the United States. The Northeast Florida Chapter, serving Jacksonville and the surrounding counties, was established in August 1997 to assist African American women diagnosed with breast cancer to reclaim a sense of control for their health and to seek a full and renewed life. It is a 501(c)3, survivor and volunteer-run organization.
Since the chapter’s inception in 1997, and with the collaborative efforts of many volunteers and community groups, thousands have been reached with vital information through educational outreach that addresses the specific needs of the minority and medically underserved populations. Outreach projects include workshops, speaker presentations, health fairs participation, and an annual breast cancer symposium first held in September 1999.
