Brenda’s Brown Bosom Buddies will host its 14th annual “Sistah Strut” walk/run/ride/stroll on Saturday, Sept. 27, at Legion Field, from 7-11 a.m.
“To be clear, ‘sistahs’ are not defined by race or even gender,” said Brenda Phillips-Hong, who founded Brenda’s Brown Bosom Buddies. “It’s about a shared spirit, attitude and intent to celebrate breast cancer survivors and to raise awareness and money to promote breast cancer screening and early detection.”
Brenda’s Brown Bosom Buddies is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting people with breast cancer, as well as providing education and promoting early detection of breast cancer in minority, low-income and underserved communities. Among other things, the organization works with local healthcare providers to cover mammogram costs for uninsured, low-income women and men, and it offers free transportation to local treatment centers for those recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
