Educational Events

With topics ranging from sexual health to nutrition,

we host informative events and seminars that

 provide women with the information and resources

they need to feel empowered.

Survivor Socials

Held monthly in locations throughout San Diego

County, networking meetings are an opportunity for 

young women diagnosed with breast cancer in the

region to interact with other women like them in

fun, comfortable settings.

Bunco Night

Once per quarter, newly diagnosed San Diegans

and survivors gather to roll the Bunco dice in a

supportive environment. Survivors enjoy food and

fun in the company of others who share in their 

experiences.

Spa Night

Once a year, young women diagnosed with breast

cancer are invited to SK Sanctuary in La Jolla

where they receive complimentary spa services and

hear inspirational lectures in the presence of other 

survivors.

Newly Diagnosed Resource Kits (NDRKs)

These kits provide invaluable resources and

information to newly diagnosed young women to

assist them in navigating the experience—from

initial diagnosis to post-treatment challenges and

concerns.

A young woman’s experience with breast

cancer is unique and the facts are startling:

o  There are more than 250,000 women living

in the United States who were diagnosed

with breast cancer at the age of 40 or 

under.1

o  San Diego County has the highest breast

cancer incidence rate in the state of 

California.2 

o  Women under 40 are less likely to receive

clinical breast exams.

o  Young women’s breast cancers are

generally more aggressive and result in

lower survival rates.

o  Young women are often an

underrepresented population in research

studies.

Community Profile

Young Survival Coalition San Diego is an

affiliate of the New York-based Young Survival

Coalition (YSC)—the premier international

organization dedicated to the critical issues

unique to young women and breast cancer.

When three young breast cancer survivors from

San Diego met at the annual YSC National

Conference in 2006, they knew it was no

coincidence. All three women recognized that

their region lacked support services tailored to

women their age and decided that other women

like them deserve to feel hopeful, empowered and

supported.

Young Survival Coalition San Diego has helped

hundreds of women address concerns about

fertility, employment, and dating—to name a

few—that may arise post-diagnosis by providing

educational events, support groups and a network 

of sisters who encourage each other to survive

and thrive.
