Dreaming Keeps Me Going

In our latest episode of Cancer Out Loud, fashion designer VanDawn shares his journey through a rare metastatic cancer diagnosis. He sheds light on the silent struggles young adults with cancer face, including mental health challenges and changes in intimacy. "Cancer can feel like a dream killer," VanDawn observes in this episode, "but you can continue to dream."

Walk for Hope Raises Over $100,000!

Last month, over 200 people participated in a family-friendly 5K walk at the Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course, in Woodbury, NY, to honor their loved ones and raise funds to support CancerCare.

Thanks to the incredible turnout of the community, the initial fundraising goal was surpassed and over $100,000 was raised to support the organization’s free emotional, practical and financial services!

Packages of Warmth

For older adults and families with children and teenagers, coping with the emotional, physical and financial challenges of cancer, staying warm during the colder months can be an extra challenge.

Every winter, CancerCare sends packages of warm winter accessories to children and families in the tri-state area through our Winter Warmth Program and winter coats to adults ages 50+ through our Coats for Comfort program.
