Scare Away Cancer started in 2011 and our mission is quite simple.  We give money to patients and families who are fighting cancer to help make ends meet.  Also, we support programs which provide charitable care to patients and help improve the lives of people battling cancer. 

Scare Away Cancer has raised close to $700,000 in seven years; we are an all-volunteer organization which means the money you donate goes directly to patients. 

You can donate to Scare Away Cancer on our website and make sure to join us for the biggest and best Halloween party on October 27th at Anthony's Steakhouse.
