Dear Friends, This past year has certainly been marked with hardship and struggle. But what we’ve seen throughout the Bay Area Cancer Connections (BACC) community has been nothing short of inspiring. Our experiences have underscored how interconnected we are as a community, how much we depend on each other, and how resilient we are when we work together. This was a record year for BACC. In response to the significant challenges of the pandemic, BACC pushed even harder to address the new cancer supportive care needs of our clients. New and different services were created, including a groundbreaking Mobile Resource Center. All our accomplishments are a testament to the commitment and compassion of our board, donors, volunteers, and our staff. It hasn’t always been easy. We’ve had to adjust our processes and make difficult decisions. We’ve asked more from our supporters than ever before. But the result of all that effort is undeniable. In this report, we share with you the highlights of this past year. As we look back, we consider ourselves so fortunate – fortunate to be a part of an extraordinary organization built on a solid foundation, fortunate to have an incredible team dedicated to our important mission, and fortunate to see, every day, the good in humanity in the form of BACC community members’ readiness to help one another. As we continue to grow our programs and expand our service area, we remain committed to our vision for the community we serve — that this be a place where all cancer patients have the information, support, and access to resources necessary for them to feel nourished and empowered, both physically and emotionally. The pandemic has demonstrated that nothing is certain, but seeing our work laid out in this report highlights one clear message: BACC is strong and has proven that it is possible to overcome uncertainty by being creative, adaptable, and ready to find solutions to the challenges of our ever-changing world. Thank you for being on this journey with us. We hope you feel an overwhelming sense of pride as you read about all the wonderful accomplishments YOU have made possible. With heartfelt gratitude,

Meeting a Greater Need for Personalized Education With so much information available in today’s world, and layering COVID-19 and other health concerns on top of cancer, requests for help have continually increased. BACC’s Personalized Cancer Information and Education specialists fulfilled 263 requests, providing the expertise to help our clients understand and process the information needed to make the best decisions they can.
“ The statistics and information I received were invaluable

Annual Cancer Conference goes virtual! We increased attendance by 67% when we made BACC's one-of-a-kind conference accessible virtually! It was our 17th year hosting this special day and nothing stopped us from bringing together renowned speakers, people in treatment and post-treatment, caregivers, and health professionals. We welcomed more than 400 participants this year. Educational sessions covered a wide range of topics These included cancer survivorship and health disparities in the age of COVID-19, updates in the treatment of breast and ovarian cancer, understanding cannabis, and cooking for your microbiome. Attendees greatly appreciated that we bookended the day with talks on the power of self-compassion and on finding meaning amidst free fall. Here’s what our conference attendees shared about the day: “With the pandemic shining more light on the disparities faced by vulnerable populations and

BACC Launches Mobile Resource Center Changing the Face of Cancer Supportive Care We have been dedicated for decades to meeting people where they are emotionally. Now, we can literally meet people where they are physically and geographically to reduce the barriers to access for everyone.
A
t our Spring Breakfast in March 2021, we were
thrilled to share that we had
purchased our “Little Blue Bus,” with plans to renovate it, and work with community partners to launch our Mobile Resource Center later this year. We’re excited to be piloting the Mobile Resource Center (MRC) with Zuckerberg San Francisco General (ZSFG) Hospital. In November, the MRC began going to ZSFG at the same time as their regularly scheduled Breast Clinic. Patients at the hospital who were previously worried about how they could afford to get a wig or a prosthesis, or were experiencing difficulty navigating resources online, are now getting what they need all in one place. We look forward to the increased impact we know we can make for clients in underserved areas and rural communities. We also partnered with Cancer Patients Alliance, Healing Partners of the Central Coast, and the CSVS Sanborn Clinic in Salinas to bring the MRC to Monterey County and will be forming various partnerships in the months to come that will enable us to effectively and efficiently deliver BACC’s free services to more people in need. BACC is focusing on scalable mobile services—starting with our boutique and informational services and scaling up to larger mobile units for in-person support groups

Working Toward More Inclusive and Equitable Cancer Supportive Care BACC has always worked hard to give our clients, volunteers, and staff a place they feel cared for, respected, and safe to be their true selves. We strive to take an active role in making cancer supportive care inclusive and equitable, and provide an environment that honors, encourages, and respects diversity.
