June 6th is National Cancer Survivors Day

 

On Sunday, June 6, the American Cancer Society will join people in communities across the country to celebrate survivors as part of National Cancer Survivors Day. 

There are about 16.9 million people with a history of cancer in the U.S., most of whom were diagnosed more than five years ago. The American Cancer Society celebrates them every day of the year, and is proud to offer them support and guidance as they navigate the ongoing challenges of cancer survivorship. For more on cancer survivorship, including information on living well during treatment and guidance for being healthy after treatment, visit cancer.org/survivors.

Additionally, our Relay For Life channels will be celebrating National Cancer Survivors Day by asking supporters to honor a survivor in their lives by purchasing a luminaria. Access the ACS Relay Cancer Survivors Day Local Toolkit here for the resources you need to share on your Relay channels.
