Flower Deliveries
A fresh bouquet after breast surgery is a simple but powerful reminder that someone is thinking of you. Our sister survivors arrange and deliver flowers to patients across Tennessee as a gesture of care and connection during a hard week.

Sisterhood Mentorship
Our Sisterhood program is central to the mission of Breast Connect. We match a newly diagnosed patient with a breast cancer survivor based on specific criteria like type of cancer, surgeries, treatment plans, and family details. The program provides empowering, educational, and reassuring support.

Facebook Support Group
Our Breast Connect community support group is a safe, welcoming space where women can share experiences, ask questions, and find strength in one another. Here, you'll find others who understand—seeking support, offering encouragement, and lifting each other up along the way. Many of the women in this group have moved beyond surgery and treatment and find deep meaning in paying it forward, supporting those who are newly diagnosed. They understand firsthand what a diagnosis can feel like and are here to walk alongside you with compassion and care. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, or years into survivorship, this group is here for you.

Our Story
Born from shared experience
In 2014, a group of breast cancer patients and survivors in Knoxville, TN met one evening for the purpose of companionship and support. That group, nicknamed the Happy Hour for a Cure, grew as dozens of women found comfort and support in sharing their stories with those who had been down that road.
That small group blossomed into the Breast Connect of today, providing women with confidence and support during the most critical decision-making process and beyond.
Today, Breast Connect serves hundreds of patients and survivors through mentorship, care packages, support groups, and educational resources — all created by survivors helping survivors.
