Bag It Recognition Award Honorees

It takes a village to help a nonprofit to fulfill its mission.  In Bag It Cancer’s world, we are surrounded by incredible patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, volunteers, staff, board, donors, partners and advocates.

Each year we honor some of our supporters for their passionate, ongoing work on behalf of Bag It. We have four awards:
