Sisters Surviving Breast Cancer Awareness Walk & Fair Saturday In Lake Charles

Lake Charles and the surrounding areas, Sisters Surviving Cancer, cordially invite you to join the fight against cancer and the fellowship of Southwest Louisiana at the annual Sisters Surviving Breast Cancer Awareness Walk & Fair. This is an open invitation to all residents, families, and friends, to celebrate life, remember those we lost, build cancer support, raise funds for survivors, and fellowship with neighbors.

See the event date, time, and location below:

The day will begin with some fun exercise to get your heart pumping. Snacks and beverages will be free and available to the public. The NAACP and Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. will be doing voter registration. There will be door prizes given away throughout the day, with plenty of local healthcare, and business booths providing breast cancer awareness resources, info about various cancer services and treatments, information about local resources, and much more.

This non-profit organization is a local charity and the support group is comprised of cancer survivors who volunteer their time and efforts to help women in Southwest Louisiana diagnosed with breast cancer and various other forms of cancer.

Sisters Surviving Cancer is here to help in any way they can whether it's to purchase a wig, a bra, a prosthesis, gas to travel for cancer treatment, or just someone to talk to. Founded by Sharon Mallot and Dr. Rose Duhon-Sells roughly 25 years ago, Sisters Surviving Cancer's mission is to provide a helping hand to women with cancer in the community.

Whatever the need is, be it emotional, financial, or medical support. Each year, on the first Saturday in October, the local cancer charity hosts a community awareness walk and fair. This event is free to attend, and also open to donations which help support their mission. Please join us on Saturday, October 5, 2025, at the Martin Luther King Center (2009 N. Simmons St.) from 8 AM to 12 PM for the walk, meet the members, shop at the fair, and enjoy snacks and refreshments. See you there!
