We need your help now more than ever!

DUE TO COVID-19, most of our fundraisers for 2020 were either cancelled, including our biggest annual cancer awareness and fundraiser, Paddle for CancerSupport.
Cancer doesn’t stop, neither do we.  At ESCA CancerSupport, we believe that no one should face cancer alone. Our amazing staff and volunteers are now running almost all of our support services online.  This means we need your help now more than ever in order to continue with these services at no cost to cancer patients and their loved ones. Please support our new *VIRTUAL* Fundraisers below organised by generous members.  And remember, any donation you can make at this time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! or simply DONATE NOW!
