National Cancer Survivors Day

A survivor as anyone living with a history of cancer, from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. An estimated 11.1 million Americans are living with a cancer diagnosis. National Cancer Survivors Day affords a community the opportunity to demonstrate that it has an active, productive cancer survivor population.

On National Cancer Survivors Day, communities honor cancer survivors for their strength and courage and recognize the contributions of families, friends, and healthcare providers. Community celebrations can include races, games, parades, dances, carnivals, art exhibits, ceremonies, picnics, and many more fun and creative events.
