The Art of Us is a powerful summer series presented by My Sister’s Keeper-Cleveland, in partnership with A Resin to Play and the Significance Group created to explore healing through creativity, community, and emotional expression.

Whether you’re in active treatment, recovery, supporting someone on the journey, or just looking for a unique way to rediscover yourself, this series invites you to be seen, heard, and supported.
Childcare and transportation assistance is available for all who request it during registration, making it easier for you to fully participate and show up for you.
A Heart of a Warrior – Strength in Sisterhood
Join us for a heartfelt afternoon of creativity, community, and compassion. A Heart of a Warrior – Strength in Sisterhood is a special edition of our Sisters’ Soiree where participants will design handcrafted heart keepsakes for women impacted by cancer

This hands-on gathering offers space to reflect, uplift, and give back. Hearts created during the event will be mailed to women currently in treatment and/or nominated by loved ones, while additional hearts will be available for purchase to support the continuation of this initiative.
Transportation is available for those who request it during registration.

I Have Cancer… Now What?
A Sister’s Guide to Navigating the Journey
Being diagnosed with cancer can leave you overwhelmed, confused, and unsure of where to turn. That’s why My Sister’s Keeper-Cleveland created this virtual education and support series—to walk with you step-by-step, from diagnosis to healing.
Join us for interactive sessions featuring medical experts, mental health professionals, and survivors who understand the journey. Whether you're newly diagnosed, in treatment, or moving forward after cancer, this series will help you take back control, ask the right questions, and make informed choices—on your terms.
All sessions are held virtually and streamed live on Facebook.
This first session is designed to help you cut through the confusion. You’ll learn how to understand your diagnosis, what your treatment options really mean, and how to ask the questions that matter most—so you can make informed decisions that align with your values and needs.

Expanded Health Access: Partnership with the Village of Healing
We are proud to deepen our partnership with Village of Healing, a Black-women-led health center in Cleveland dedicated to providing culturally sensitive, comprehensive care for women of color. Together, we aim to ensure that every Sister has access to trusted healthcare providers—including primary care physicians, gynecologists, and mental health professionals—who understand and prioritize her unique needs.
This collaboration is especially vital for cancer survivors. Research indicates that nearly 1 in 5 cancers diagnosed today occurs in individuals with a previous cancer diagnosis, highlighting the importance of vigilant, long-term care. Certain treatments, such as radiation and specific chemotherapies, can increase the risk of developing secondary cancers. Additionally, genetic factors like BRCA mutations can elevate the risk for multiple cancer types, including breast and ovarian cancers .
The Village of Healing offers:
Primary Care Services: Regular check-ups and screenings to monitor overall health and detect any new concerns early.
Gynecological Care: Specialized services addressing reproductive health, crucial for those with histories of cancers like breast or ovarian.
Mental Health Support: Access to counseling and therapy to navigate the emotional complexities of survivorship.
Our shared goal is to provide a holistic support system that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of healing. By ensuring continuous, personalized care, we strive to empower our Sisters to lead healthy, fulfilling lives beyond cancer.

Together, we are building a community where every Sister thrives.
