A Message from Tara O’Brien, CEO
As we close out our 70th Anniversary year, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible generosity and compassion shown by our community. Thanks to your support, Cancer Services continues to grow stronger—ensuring that we can be here for cancer patients and their families for the next 70 years and beyond.
With the increasing need we are seeing in our community, it’s more important than ever that Cancer Services continues to provide hope, comfort, and care to those facing cancer. One client recently shared, “Cancer Services has been a godsend—an oasis in the wilderness. They made it easier for me during the hardest time of my life, and for that, I am forever grateful.”
We are also deeply thankful for our community partners who have stood beside us this year—providing volunteers, hosting third-party fundraisers, and helping share our mission throughout the community.
From all of us at Cancer Services, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful, safe, and peaceful holiday season. Your kindness and partnership truly make a difference.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Tara O’Brien
Chief Executive Officer
