About Us
Clark Family Breast Cancer Services, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization established in October, 2005 in memory of our sisters, Brenda and Barbara Clark, and our mother, Elizabeth, who we lost to breast cancer. While our sisters were diagnosed, our large family acted as their collective caregiver, lending them the support that proved to ease the significant burden breast cancer had placed upon them.
Our organization reaches out to our community in a collaborative effort to bring awareness about breast cancer, to help in the efforts to find a cure for breast cancer, and support the many countless faces it has touched. Our mission is to leave no woman behind. Breast cancer has no age limit, or racial preference. It is an equal opportunity killer.
Too many of our neighbors do not have access to free health services, including breast screening, which can make a profound difference in their likelihood to increase their chances of survival, if breast cancer is detected early.

Do you know someone affected by breast cancer—--an aunt, sister, mother, wife or friend? You are not alone. One in eight women born today will learn they have breast cancer in their lifetime, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). More unsettling: African-American women are more likely to die from breast cancer than any other ethnic group.
These disturbing facts are why it is so important to arm yourself with the knowledge you need about breast cancer prevention, screening, treatment and survivorship. The more you know about how to reduce your risk and make informed decisions, the better prepared you can be to confront the disease and survive.
