2024 Giving Hope Gala
The Giving Hope Gala is an annual fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for the Salish Cancer Center’s Patient Financial Assistance Fund (PFAF).
Many patients find themselves in financial distress due to out-of-pocket expenses relating to specialist appointments, labs and testing, imaging scans, medications, treatments and the transportation required to get the care they need. Because of this, some patients will opt to not seek the care or necessary lifesaving treatments needed to win the battle.
To relieve some of the financial burden, Salish Cancer Center established a Patient Financial Assistance Fund. The 2024 Giving Hope Gala is the second annual fundraiser to raise awareness and funds. Our goal is to infuse the PFAF with funds that will assist in relieving the financial burden to patients, allowing for the best possible care.

Please consider one of these sponsorship opportunities, attending the GALA, making a donation, or becoming a volunteer and join us in this effort to offer relief to our patients.
