Since 1965, we have provided free-of- charge programs, services, education, assistance and support to meet the changing medical, financial, emotional and educational needs of cancer patients and their families in Greenville County. We are not affiliated with the American Cancer Society and all of our funds are spent locally. We serve over 4,000 cancer patients here at home each year.
