CancerCare was honored to participate in the “Two Words” clinical trial awareness event, held at Grand Central

From May 30 to June 1, 2025, CancerCare’s 16th Annual Healing Hearts Family Bereavement Camp welcomed families who have recently lost a loved one to cancer to Memorytown USA in Mount Pocono, PA. 17 families and 27 children aged 4-15 attended from states including New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Washington.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, are a caregiver or have lost a loved one, you have likely faced unique challenges along the way. In our 80th anniversary year, we were proud to meet the needs of anyone affected by cancer through our emotional, practical and financial assistance programs and patient advocacy efforts.

On November 17, 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.

Through a new partnership with Christine Valmy, a beauty and skin care school, CancerCare has offered a series of skin care workshops led by oncology-trained estheticians for people diagnosed with cancer. The workshops, held in New York City in June, and in New Jersey in November, made it clear that this is an area of support missing for patients.

This summer, 187 students in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut received backpacks full of new school supplies for the start of the academic year as part of CancerCare for Kids’ Back-to-School Program.

Families who have recently lost a loved one to cancer came together at Memorytown USA in Mount Pocono, PA for CancerCare’s 15th annual free Healing Hearts Family Bereavement Camp from June 7-9, 2024.
