About Us
We’ve all heard the term “battling cancer” whether related to a loved one, friend or neighbor. If you’ve had the unfortunate experience of facing this battle personally or while helping another, you know that this term exists because cancer is an all-out assault on every aspect of a patient’s life. Beyond the physical challenges, patients often face job loss, inability to pay bills and difficulty caring for their families. A strong support system can make all the difference in easing these stresses throughout the treatment process.

Today, our Cancer Care Fund committee organizes a variety of fundraising events to further this mission including:
- Spring Fashion Show
- Summer Cocktail Party

- Auction and Dinner Dance
- Glow Golf Tournament
- 5K Halloween Race
