CancerCare Hosts Virtual Workshop for Families
CancerCare's annual Healing Hearts Family Bereavement Camp is a highlight for our clients, their families and our staff. Due to the risk of COVID-19, the usual gathering at Memorytown USA in Mount Pocono, PA, was not possible this year. Instead, we held a virtual activity earlier this month to help clients connect with other families and honor their loved ones.

Do Something for CancerCare
The Do Something for CancerCare campaign ends this Thursday, September 10. There's still time to help us meet the unprecedented demand for our free services.
When you support CancerCare, you help people affected by cancer gain access to essential programs and resources including financial assistance, educational information and special programming. Every donation can make a difference. Do you know 10 people who can donate $100? Or 20 people who can donate $50? Some can raise more, some can raise less. Every dollar counts, and it all adds up. Before Thursday, September 10, please consider doing something for CancerCare.
Visit our website to sign up, customize your page and enter our contest challenges. Thank you to Lorraine, who shared her creative way to Do Something for CancerCare!
