Donate $50 to Help Patients Fight The Fear Of Cancer
The goal of Bag It Cancer’s spring fundraiser—100 Bags in 30 Days—is to give patients and caregivers the resources to organize appointments and records along with reliable cancer information. Part of our mission over the past 21 years has been to provide bags to everyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
By donating $50, you will provide one bag to these individuals to help guide them before and after treatment. The campaign ends on March 6.

New! Spanish Bicultural Bag
Researched and Tailored for Latino/Hispanic Individuals With Cancer and Their Families
In two decades of bringing Bag It Bags to individuals and their families, we have learned that cultural beliefs, traditions and values can greatly affect someone’s experience with a cancer diagnosis, treatment and even survival. Bag It Cancer worked closely with many Latinos and Hispanics who have cancer themselves or have cared for someone with cancer. Together we created this special Spanish/English Bag just for you.
Major areas of focus include the role of the family, communication, general healthcare and cancer basics as well as how to support children’s needs.

Learn More About Bag It Cancer
“The “Bag It” package allowed me to be an organized advocate for my health and it played an important role in guiding me and my family during my difficult journey. The information and resources have helped me conquer my fears, relieved stress, and allowed me to feel comfortable talking with my doctors about my diagnosis and treatment options. It has also been very helpful to have somewhere I can keep my medical records, lab work, x-rays/scans, medication and vitamin lists, and health care provider’s contact information ALL in One place.”
