National Cancer Survivors Day is a CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community.

A Call to Action. A Celebration of Life.

National Cancer Survivors Day is a poignant, inspiring Celebration of Life led by the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation. It is also a call to action for further research, more resources, and increased public awareness to improve the lives of cancer survivors.

This day provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer – including America’s more than 18 million cancer survivors – to connect with each other, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way.

When is NCSD?

National Cancer Survivors Day^® is celebrated each year on the first Sunday in June. This year, NCSD will take place on June 1.

Who is a cancer survivor?

Anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life – is a cancer survivor, as defined by the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation.

National Cancer Survivors Day is a day to:

• Recognise and support cancer survivors
• Celebrate people who have been given the all clear after treatment
• Reflect on the impact of cancer on patients and their families
• Thank those who have made cancer survival possible
