Providing Support and Hope to Individuals Affected by Breast Cancer
BREAST CANCER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (BCAP)
*The BCAP program has concluded its current cycle and is scheduled to reopen in May 2026
Our mission is to support as many community members as possible across the three (3) New Jersey counties that we serve: Middlesex, Somerset, and Union. Through BCAP, we provide a one-time monetary gift for one bill to each eligible recipient ensuring our resources support a broad spectrum of individuals in need. This policy is key to maintaining our wide-reaching impact.
At Sister2Sister, we understand the significant challenges that come with a breast cancer diagnosis—especially for individuals in historically underserved communities who often face financial hardship and systemic obstacles to care. Our Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP) is committed to providing crucial financial aid, access to essential resources, and compassionate emotional support. Our goal is to help patients focus on their healing and well-being.
For those who have previously received assistance, please know you remain in our hearts—we continue to send you strength and healing. We also encourage you to explore additional resources that may be available. For new applicants, please be aware that our support is a one-time gift of care intended for those currently undergoing active treatment.
