We are nearing the end of the “SURVIVORSHIP SUMMER SOCIAL“.

Come join us on Thursday August 25th @ 5:30pm… bring your singing voice, those dance moves along with your game face ….  IT’S GOING TO BE FUN–TAS-TIC, we will end the summer with a BANG!

Please note, this does not mean the end of the Support Group Meetings.  Regular meetings with discussions and open forum will resume Thursday September 8th @ 5:30pm. (Every 2nd and 4th Thursday in the month).

If you had any reservations on being a Thrifter?  Here are some Tips on how to Thrift:

1. Have an open mind.
2. When in doubt, try it on…sometimes it looks better than on the hanger
3. Ask yourself, what would I have paid for this same outfit in the store.
4. If you like it and it fits, no one would not know that it was not bought in a clothing store.
5. More bargain for your bucks.

Come visit the Cancer Society Thrift Store, we are open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am to 2pm to help you.

All proceeds goes towards the day-to-day operation of the Cancer Caring Centre. Thank You

Congratulations you all for a job well done on the first ever Virtual Ball.   The event was a mammoth task to execute, but the results were phenomenal.

Who would have thought a virtual ball would have reached so many sponsors that unselfishly supported the mission and vision of the Cancer Society of The Bahamas financially during this critical time of the Corona Virus pandemic.

Thank you Lovern Wildgoose and Nicole Leary-Imhoff, as well as your Committee, as you all have proven that your time and talents are priceless.  This year’s event has set the standard and provided a blueprint for next year’s event to be even bigger and better.

Of course we could never repay you for all that you do for the Cancer Society of The Bahamas, but if the world becomes a better place tomorrow, it will happen because of volunteers like you.
