A Night to Remember for CancerCare

In April, CancerCare hosted its annual Spring Gala and raised over $1,000,000 for the third year in a row.

This year’s gala was a particularly special one. It not only celebrated CancerCare’s 80th anniversary but also paid tribute to the unsung heroes of cancer care – the organization’s oncology social workers.

CancerCare in TIME Magazine

Last month, CancerCare was featured in an article by TIME magazine, "How to Talk to Kids When a Parent Has Cancer." Shannon Coon, CancerCare's Children's Program Coordinator, shared her expertise about how to communicate with children when a parent has been diagnosed with cancer. It is important, she says, to approach them in ways they can process and understand, including preparing for the talk, the need to explain what cancer is and deciding when and where might be the best time to have the discussion.
