Ready For Your Close-Up?

Our Birthday Bash is next week, and we need YOUR help! It’s no secret that the best thing about Cactus Cancer Society is you: the people who make up this incredible community.

Here’s what we are asking: 30 seconds to 1 minute of your time (maybe 5 minutes, very generously!) to contribute to our birthday video.

Two gray hands in gray mittens hold a white mug with a steamy dark liquid inside.

Christmas gets a lot of attention this time of year, in all its commercial glory. Loving Christmas isn’t a bad thing, but there are so many other celebrations this time of year that deserve observation and celebration. Sunday started the first night of Hannukah, and while it’s a relatively minor holiday in terms of theology, it’s one that I loved celebrating as a kid. Whether you are religious or not, I hope these suggestions remind you to embrace the small pleasures of the season: secular, religious, and cultural.
