Cancer Association

Caring/Nurturing/Giving

Since 1967, the Cancer Association has been helping to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families in our communities. When someone is first diagnosed with cancer, the patient and the family must face tremendous challenges surrounding the treatment and recovery. Oftentimes, their entire life is turned upside down in the course of just one day as they struggle to come to terms with the diagnosis and what it means for their health, their family, their work, their financial situation and an uncertain future.

Fortunately, the Cancer Association is ready with assistance for these patients. Through our diverse range of services—from providing nutritional supplements and wigs to the loan of much needed hospital equipment to assisting with treatment transportation and cancer medication costs - we can help families face cancer with caring support along the entire way.

A NOTE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As the Executive Director of the Cancer Association of Spartanburg & Cherokee Counties, Inc., I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support and commitment to our mission of serving local cancer patients and their families.

At the Cancer Association, we understand that a cancer diagnosis brings not only physical challenges but emotional and financial burdens as well. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to provide comprehensive resources, including counseling, nutritional supplements, fuel cards, and critical supplies, aimed at easing the journey for those affected by cancer in our community.

Each day, we witness the incredible strength and resilience of our clients. Your contributions—whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word about our services—play a vital role in ensuring that no one faces cancer alone. Together, we are making a significant impact on the lives of those we serve, offering hope and support during their most difficult times.

As we look ahead, we are excited to expand our programs and outreach efforts, ensuring that we reach even more individuals and families in need. We invite you to stay connected with us through our website and social media channels, where you can find information about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to contribute. Your involvement makes a difference.

Thank you for standing with us in this vital mission. Together, we can continue to foster a community of compassion and support for those navigating the challenges of cancer.
