Organiser's Description
The 2nd Annual Together for Breast Cancer Treatment and Support event is a family event hosted by Cancer Bridges and the Cultural Humility & Equity Collaborative to benefit Black women in breast cancer treatment. All proceeds go to Ubuntu Pittsburgh and Cancer Bridges' African American Cancer Support group so they can continue to serve and care for our community. This event seeks to promote interest convergence on the issue of cancer treatment and to bring awareness to health disparities in Pittsburgh for Black women and to support health equity.
