Women Supporting Women is a grass-roots local non-profit organization which was founded in 1993 by three area women: Harriette Fine, Carol Prager and Sue Revelle. They started the group out of their homes after discovering the need to help women through their journey with breast cancer. It has since grown to serve the entire Delmarva Peninsula, and currently has offices in Salisbury, Berlin and Crisfield, with an additional support group in Cambridge.

Breast cancer in men is a rare disease. Less than 1% of all breast cancers occur in men. In 2011, about 2,140 men were diagnosed with the disease. For men, the lifetime risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.
