Join celebrity artists and thousands of good people in a unique, multicultural, musical charity event showcasing available resources that support people with cancer and those who love them.  Supporters in the fight against cancer will gather in rhythm to BEAT cancer!  The weekend activities include a non-stop Drum Circle, a full stage with great entertainment and many important cancer health resource exhibiters.  The event will be held in the pastures of Misty Meadows Farm, encouraging people to focus attention on cancer awareness, education, survivorship support and funding for research.

CancerForward will present The New Summer Standard 2012 on Wednesday, May 23 at 7:00 pm at Houston Country Club. The black tie dinner dance will celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day 2012 and honor three-time cancer survivor Nancy Moncrief of Houston, who was first diagnosed with cancer at age 12. Four years ago, this mother of four young adult sons lost her husband, oilman Lee P. Moncrief, at age 57 to esophageal cancer. Extending the elegance of CancerForward’s highly successful 2011 celebration of National Cancer Survivors Day, 2012 gala chairs Lisa and Mike O’Leary and Liz and Robert Rigney promise a chic, early-summer party inspired by Dorothy Draper’s colorful and iconic East Hamptons interiors, replete with dinner and dancing to the Richard Brown Orchestra. The inaugural chairs of The New Summer Standard – Betty and Stephen Newton, Cabrina and Steven Owsley and Phoebe and Bobby Tudor – serve as Honorary Chairs of the 2012 event.

The Cancer Rights Conference series are free events that will provide patients, survivors, caregivers, advocates, navigators, healthcare professionals, and attorneys with valuable information about cancer-related legal issues, including: employment and taking time off work, access to health care, insurance navigation and appeals, understanding health care reform and cancer community resources.

The 28th Annual AOSW Conference is headed to Boston, a city well known for its rich sense of history and tradition, as well as innovation, science, education and advances in cancer care.  Some of the conference objectives include: examining changes and innovations in practice based on the changing landscape of healthcare, improving awareness of the needs of cancer survivors and enhancing practice across the survivorship continuum, and improving practitioners’ knowledge of the spiritual care needs of cancer patients.

This free conference explores the challenges working people face as they try to balance their cancer treatment and recovery with employment.  Topics to be discussed include: job searching, legal issues, health insurance, working through treatment, job re-entry, and a special session for young adults facing challenges in the workplace.

The 2012 conference marks the 15th year this national event has been held—and the 15th anniversary of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.  Over those 15 years, new treatments have been approved, symptoms of the disease were identified, and survivors won a seat the table when research funding decisions are made.  This conference will celebrate these advances and look ahead to the next wave of progress.  At the event, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from leading experts about cutting edge research on personalized medicine, molecular profiling and cancer vaccines, learn about clinical trials for ovarian cancer that are currently enrolling, and meet fellow survivors and caregivers from across the country.
