Organize an Event – A Planning Guide
Welcome! Getting Started
Plan now to host an event as part of the 24th annual National Cancer Survivors Day on Sunday, June 5, 2011. You will join thousands of people in hundreds of communities worldwide who will be celebrating the lives of all people around the world who are living with a history of cancer.
