A gift made in your will, trust, or retirement plan can help ensure that people facing cancer continue to receive help for generations to come.

CancerCare provides free life-changing support to people with cancer and their loved ones. For over 80 years, millions of people have turned to CancerCare for individual counseling services, direct financial assistance, support groups, education programs, and practical resources and guidance on treatment.

Named for the year CancerCare was founded, the 1944 Legacy Society recognizes compassionate supporters who have included CancerCare in their estate plans.
