Make Our Tenth Anniversary Anthology One for the Books!

Have you heard? Our tenth anniversary is next year! To celebrate a decade of programming and support for young adult cancer patients, we are publishing an Anthology. Picture a printed book of beautiful written and visual work by your fellow program participants, plus all kinds of photos and statistics about the last ten years.

But just like our programs, this anthology won’t be the same without YOU. We need your creativity and your faces to make this anthology everything it can be!

Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Submit a piece for our anthology! Because of our programs, have you developed a love of collage, watercolor, embroidery, or neurographic art? Do you have poems, essays, or written pieces from Unspoken Ink, 30 Minute Tune Up, or Coffee and Oodles? We want photos or a copy of what you’ve created as a result of one of our programs!
  2. Share photos of yourself with other prickly and resilient friends! If you’ve met other Cactus Cancer Society friends and have photos, send them along: we want them in our pages!

We’re so excited to get this book in your hands- and we are even more excited to have this book represent our amazing community!

Our Anthology: Perfect for Everyone On Your Shopping List!

We’ve got a holiday present coming that has been a decade in the making – and it will be one for everyone on your list!

In celebration of our tenth birthday next Spring, we are publishing a first-of-its-kind, long-awaited Cactus Cancer Society Anthology! The anthology will boast photos of beautiful visual art pieces, and powerfully written poems and short stories, all created by our young adult cancer community members. You will not want to miss the chance to own this limited-edition art collection and piece of Cactus Cancer Society history!

Here’s how you can reserve a copy for everyone on your list from this limited edition run:

  1. You can snag your anthology copy AND add a line of dedication to the anthology itself! For $45, you can contribute your own message. Take a line to wish your gift recipient a wonderful New Year! Thank your oncologist in writing! Thank your great uncle Pat for gifting you an art set when you were nine!
  2. You can also pre-order your copy of the anthology as-is. For $30, you can tell them their book is on the way once it’s hot off the presses.
  3. Pocket feeling a bit light from holiday shopping? You can grab your anthology for $40 after the pre-sale closes on February 15, 2025.

One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is a gift to look forward to, and that’s just what this anthology will be. Be the hero of this holiday season and the spring when the anthology is in their hands.
