Support CancerCare's Back to School Program

For more than a decade, CancerCare's Back-to-School Program has helped families affected by cancer start the school year with confidence. Your donation provides children with new backpacks and school supplies, easing financial stress and helping them begin the year ready to learn.

Thank you for helping families coping with cancer!

Your generosity helps ensure children can begin the school year with the supplies they need to learn, grow and thrive, even during one of the most difficult times in their family's life. Through CancerCare for Kids' Back-to-School Program, children in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut receive brand-new backpacks filled with age-appropriate school supplies, helping ease both financial and emotional stress for families affected by cancer.

Last year, 187 students from 67 families received backpacks packed with notebooks, binders, pencils, art supplies and more. Parents shared that the program brought peace of mind and allowed them to focus on their health and their families instead of worrying about the cost of back-to-school shopping. Thank you for making this meaningful support possible for children and families when they need it most.
