Organize an Event – A Planning Guide
Welcome! Getting Started

Plan now to host a National Cancer Survivors Day event on the first Sunday in June. You will join thousands of people in hundreds of communities worldwide who will be celebrating the lives of all people around the world who are living with a history of cancer.

There is no membership or fee required to be a participating organization and hold an NCSD event in your area. Simply register your event each year with the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation in order to use the copyrighted NCSD name and logo. Funding for the Foundation is provided primarily through the generosity and support of its sponsoring organizations, which are dedicated to providing a better quality of life for cancer survivors.
