2025 Highlight

In 2025, we’re excited to roll out exciting new initiatives to support caregivers, connect communities, and get resources where they’re needed most.

​

What to Expect in 2025:

​​

  • Introducing CARECONNECT:  Launching January 15, 2025, CARECONNECT is our newest program dedicated to caregivers. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive range of services, including personalized support, educational workshops, respite care, self-care resources, and community engagement opportunities. 

​

  • Mobile Mammogram Units:  We’re bringing life-saving screenings directly to you! We're partnering with a few Mobile Mammogram Units that will be available quarterly in various locations, ensuring greater access to early detection and preventative care. Stay tuned for updates on where we’ll be.

​

  • Community Engagement Workshops: Our CONNECT workshops remain a cornerstone of our mission, providing support and resources you can use in various stages of your journey with cancer care or in our DV areas of support. This year, we’re expanding our workshops back into the communities. We lost this option during COVID, and we miss CONNECTing with you in your spaces. You'll find some new offerings like Maximizing Your Health Insurance Benefits and other topics to address your needs. 

​

  • CARE DAYS:  CARE DAYS are dedicated community outreach days created to engage local communities and provide vital resources to those in need.  You'll find CARE DAYS in various states this year. We will bring together healthcare professionals, support organizations, and experts to share information on the latest technologies, clinical trials, and cutting-edge advancements in care. Attendees will have access to free screenings, educational materials, and one-on-one consultations to ensure they have the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions while navigating their cancer care. 

​

  • New Faces on Our Team: We’re thrilled to welcome new team members whose energy and expertise will help us serve you better.

​

Get Involved and Stay Connected:

​

  • Volunteer Opportunities: Your time and skills can make a significant impact. Explore our volunteer opportunities and be a part of the positive change we're creating together. Whether it's lending a hand at events or contributing your expertise, every effort counts.

​

  • Donate to Make a Difference:  Support our mission by making a donation. Your contribution enables us to expand our programs, reach more individuals in need, and extend support to caregivers to offset the many sacrifices they make in helping others and their loved ones.
