Welcome to the YSC Northern New Jersey! YSC NNJ was founded by Lisa Marie Muccilo in January 2002. Her inspirational leadership, passion and dedication to helping young women with breast cancer inspire all that we do. Although we lost Lisa Marie in August 2003, her examples of strength and determination still guide us today.

Today, YSC NNJ constituents include breast cancer survivors, family and friends as well as people who care about the issues breast cancer poses for young women. You do not need to be a breast cancer survivor to be a part of the YSC! As with all other local YSC groups, some members have never been diagnosed with breast cancer but realize that breast cancer affects us all.

The YSC Northern New Jersey Affiliate meets regularly, sometimes for social events such as our You Are Not Alone series of workshops and event, sometimes for business, and sometimes for volunteer nights. We look forward to seeing you soon.
