Special Events | CancerForward

CancerForward special events serve two purposes. Many provide free educational forums at which survivors can enjoy themselves and meet other survivors and survivorship advocates in unique and varied social settings. Events such as Saks Fifth Avenue’s Key To The Cure, headliner luncheons, golf tournaments and others provide financial support to the ongoing development and program expansion of CancerForward’s web-based platform. They also support CancerForward’s grants programs, which invest dollars in educational and cancer survivorship programs within healthcare institutions and community organizations throughout the U.S. Financial contributions made in conjunction with special events are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
