Cancer does not stop during a pandemic and neither do we.  Despite these uncertain times, the need to support our mission has not changed, nor has its importance diminished. We’re focused on keeping our mission and impact top of mind while prioritizing the health and safety of our supporters and staff.

At the Cancer Wellness Center, our dedicated clinical team has adapted our resources to better serve our community by delivering all programs and services virtually since mid-March: individual counseling, support groups, education, nutrition, and exercise classes.

Now more than ever, we must come together so that the Center can continue to provide hope and support to cancer patients and their families. We are hoping that this format will allow our participants, their families and friends to still feel like a part of the CWC community.

Our work is not done and your support is vital to the Center.

Our sincerest appreciation for your support of the Better Together Benefit – Let It Shine event.

Cancer Wellness Center is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization and your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
