Thank you for supporting the Alliance!
Honoring Survivors. Inspiring Hope. Giving Together.
December is a time of reflection and hope, and this month the South Carolina Cancer Alliance is focusing on survivorship. Across our state, thousands of survivors remind us why our work matters. Survivorship begins at diagnosis and continues through treatment and beyond. It involves not only medical care but also emotional, financial, and practical support to help people live fuller, healthier lives.
There are still many misconceptions about survivorship. Some believe a person is only a survivor after treatment ends, yet survivorship starts on day one. Others assume life returns to normal once treatment is over, when in reality many survivors face long-term effects and new challenges. By raising awareness and sharing accurate information, we can ensure every survivor feels supported and understood.
As we lift up survivorship this month, we also recognize the importance of community generosity. Your gift is a chance to turn awareness into action and support programs that improve quality of life for survivors and families across South Carolina. Your gift strengthens our work in prevention, early detection, and survivorship support.
