In 1991, Save Ourselves (SOS) Breast Cancer Organization was founded by a group of women who were motivated to better serve those with breast cancer nationally, statewide, and locally. To serve the Sacramento region, we provide, at no charge:

• Monthly educational forums: health care providers, researchers, & nutritional experts share information on breast cancer related issues.
• We meet monthly on the third Wednesday of every month except December at Nordstrom, Arden Fair Mall, second floor training room. Potluck from 6 - 7, program: 7 - 8:30.
• 24 hour hotline line: staffed by professionally trained breast cancer thrivers. Our team can match the caller with someone with a similar diagnosis or situation.
• Support groups: professionally led psychoeducational support groups, offered at various times and locations in Sacramento and Roseville. Groups available for Latina and lesbian women as well.
• Lingerie closet and resource center (at two locations): provides new and gently used post-mastectomy garments, prosthetics, hats, wigs, library of books, CDs & DVDs.
  Current locations:
  • UCD Comprehensive Cancer Center, 2nd floor, and
  • Sutter Cancer Center downtown Sacramento, library, 6th floor.
• Speaker's bureau: we will come and speak to your civic group, school, or place of employment about any aspect of breast cancer. We also testify at state assembly and senate hearings.
• Outreach: SOS attends local health fairs so that we may share breast health information and distribute educational materials.
