Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening at our 10th Anniversary Gala!

For the past decade, Cactus Cancer Society has empowered more than 14,000 young adults facing cancer through creativity, connection, and community. Now, it's time to celebrate!

We invite you - our incredible supporters, friends, and community members - to an inspiring night filled with joy, reflection, and impact. Enjoy a delicious tapas-style dinner, refreshing beverages, and an exclusive gallery showcasing art created by our talented community members.

The evening's program will feature a special moment of recognition as we present the inaugural Young Adult Cancer Advocate of the Year (YAAY) Award, honoring a community member making a meaningful difference.

Plus, immerse yourself in the magic of creative coping with our community by joining us for a pre-gala creative coping workshop.

Cactus Cancer Society is the only organization offering diverse online support programs regardless of cancer diagnosis and regardless of where these courageous young survivors live, allowing unparalleled accessibility to survivorship support. Each year, 80,000 young adults (ages 18-39) are diagnosed with cancer and the future they had once planned for is dramatically altered. Suffering from often extreme isolation, these young adults need connection to one another, their concerns to be validated, and a safe space to process their new normal. Reducing isolation, and offering social interaction and creative opportunities have been shown to increase quality of life.

Cactus Cancer Society is a community funded charity that provides all programs at no charge to young adults facing cancer.

Your support will share stories to end isolation.

Your support will offer a safe space to young adult cancer survivors.

Your support will bring young adults facing cancer together, regardless of the time of day and where they live.

Your support will show these young adults they have peers who understand what they are facing.

One young adult at a time, you make a difference.
