Are you a breast cancer survivor 6 to 24 months out of treatment?

Participants and Staff Great Lakes HOPE Retreat

We invite you to the HOPE Retreat™ to reflect on your cancer experience in a comfortable, caring environment.

The HOPE Retreat™ was developed by a Breast Cancer Survivor out of her need to share her unique breast cancer journey with her peers and to identify positive life changes.

Since our first retreat in 2002, twenty-four years ago, our nonprofit organization has enriched the lives and given hope to women in Michigan, Colorado, Missouri and North Carolina.


2026 Rally for the CURE - Meadowbrook Country Club

On June 17th, beautiful Meadowbrook Country Club hosted Rally for the Cure, a ladies and men’s Golf Outing. We were honored and very grateful to be chosen as this year’s recipient of this amazing fundraiser!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Lynne Jozwiak, Chairperson, for organizing this special event, and also to the many volunteers and golfers who contributed to a successful Rally for the Cure. Your support will make a difference in the lives of breast cancer survivors.

Proceeds will enable Sisters HOPE to continue to offer HOPE Retreats to recent breast cancer survivors for a minimal cost of $75.
