We Are Bursting with Pride!

June is Pride Month, and we are celebrating our LGBTQIA+ community members all month long!

Are you a young adult cancer patient, survivor, or caregiver who is also a member of the LGBTQIA+ community?  Join us for online programs in celebration of Pride, from Unspoken Ink to an Art Workshop!  Each of the programs below is a tried and true over here at Cactus Cancer Society and, for the first time ever, we’re exclusively bringing together members of our LBGTQIA+ community in each one!

New Pride Merch

We know how much you love swag (we do too!), so we’ve added some new limited-edition designs to our online shop just in time for Pride! These designs celebrate just how prickly and fabulous our community is.⁠
