Sister to Sister has been part of your community since 2006. We work year-round to bring heart health resources to the women of Detroit.

We have one ongoing event in Detroit: The Sister to Sister Fitness Challenge and we just finished another successful Annual Women’s Heart Health Fair.

The Sister to Sister Fitness Challenge

Improve your heart health while raising funds for a great cause. The Sister to Sister Fitness Challenge is a six week program designed to engage the women of Metro Detroit in heart-healthy lifestyle behavior while generating awareness for the Sister to Sister mission and raising funds for Sister to Sister that will allow us to provide more free heart screenings at our annual health fair. We're asking participants to commit to do some form of exercise every day, or at least several days a week, during the Fitness Challenge and collect donations from family and friends to support your Fitness Challenge. Participants can choose any form of exercise they want and it can be as simple as walking your dog or exercising at home, to running, swimming, biking, doing your Pilates – anything you want as long as you get your heart going. Help us reach our goals of $100,000 in funds raised and 500,000 cumulative minutes exercised by Fitness Challenge participants.

Another Successful Women’s Heart Health Fair

Thanks  to the 2,540 attendees for joining us at this year's Women's Heart Health Fair held at the GM Wintergarden.  It was a wonderful event that featured lifesaving medical information; cooking, fitness, and other lifestyle demonstrations; entertainment and door prizes; and the opportunity to get screened for heart disease and meet with a medical counselor.
