February 4
World Cancer Day
The first World Cancer Day began in 2000 and was founded by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Since then, every year on February 4, the world recognizes the global day dedicated to raising awareness, providing education and calling for action around cancer. World Cancer Day brings together those who have been touched by cancer including patients, friends and family members of patients, researchers, doctors, nurses and cancer organizations everywhere as we take on the fight against cancer.
At Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation, we focus on family-centric care: treating the families who have had a young parent diagnosed with cancer. Whether you join the discussion on social media, contribute to our mission or educate others, take action this #WorldCancerDay and help in creating a world without cancer.
World Cancer Day 2022-2024
Close the Care Gap
The latest theme for World Cancer Day is “Close the Care Gap”. This three-year campaign is meant to inspire, engage, and create impact. In 2022, JAJF is helping to Close the Care Gap by providing families from all walks of life with prescribed timeouts from cancer. Our holistic approach to cancer care—treating the families; not the cancer—has become part of the total cancer care. Our goals to serve even more families this year include:
- Providing more with WOW! Experiences and prescribed timeouts from cancer
- Growing our Oncology Coalition and partnering with more medical centers
- Raising awareness about JAJF’s mission!
