Are you a breast cancer survivor 6 to 24 months out of treatment?

Participants and Staff Great Lakes HOPE Retreat

We invite you to the HOPE Retreat™ to reflect on your cancer experience in a comfortable, caring environment.

The HOPE Retreat™ was developed by a Breast Cancer Survivor out of her need to share her unique breast cancer journey with her peers and to identify positive life changes.

Since our first retreat in 2002, twenty-three years ago, our nonprofit organization has enriched the lives and given hope to women in Michigan, Colorado, Missouri and North Carolina.
