Join Our Give A Bag Fundraiser!

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 20 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 20.
