Measuring CancerCare's Impact

Since 1944, CancerCare's commitment to offering help and hope to anyone affected by cancer has remained constant. Thanks to our donors, volunteers, friends and advocates, we continue to make a difference. Because of your continued support, last year CancerCare provided 209,454 services to people affected by cancer.
Support the CancerCare 2021 Virtual Gala & Auction

As we continue to adhere to safety protocols due to COVID-19, CancerCare will host its first ever virtual gala on Wednesday, April 21. The program will include a special musical performance by Tony Award-winner and five-time Tony Award nominee, Laura Benanti.

This year’s recipient of the Corporate Achievement Award is Michael Barasch on behalf of Barasch & McGarry.

The need for our financial and psychosocial services for those affected by cancer have increased more than 35% in the last year.  Your support is more valuable than ever.
Whether you join the gala or participate in our online auction, we need your support.
