Cancer Support Community DC

In celebration of National Cancer Survivors Day, we stand with and support survivors everywhere.

Every survivor’s journey is unique, but each story is filled with courage, resilience, and hope.

On Sunday, June 28, we celebrate Community Is Stronger Than Cancer Day and what would have been comedian Gilda Radner’s 80th birthday. Gilda passed away in May 1989 after living with ovarian cancer for 3 years. She had a natural gift for making people laugh. This day is a reminder of the humor, honesty, and heart that Gilda shared with the world, and that continues to guide our work.

This year’s theme, Partners in Purpose, honors the people and organizations who stand with us to ensure Community Is Stronger Than Cancer. Across the U.S., Canada, and beyond, Cancer Support Community and Gilda’s Club provide free emotional support, education, and community every day.

Join us by sharing your favorite Gilda quote or moment!

Cancer impacts more than physical health — it can deeply affect emotional and mental well-being, too.

From coping with uncertainty to managing everyday stressors alongside cancer, our latest blog explores the importance of support, self-care, and knowing when to reach out for help.
