Today, we salute the brave men and women who have served our country with courage and sacrifice.

But as we honor their service, we must also recognize an urgent truth: veterans face higher cancer rates than the general population, including prostate, lung, and rare cancers. Service-related exposures such as burn pits, asbestos, and contaminated water have left lasting impacts that too many veterans deal with long after coming home.

This Veterans Day, let’s not only thank our heroes but also fight for their health. Together, we can raise awareness, support early detection, and ensure every veteran has access to the care they deserve. 💙🎗️

As always, if you or a loved one need support throughout your cancer journey visit www.UCAlliance.org and fill out our intake form and one of our support specialists will reach out as soon as possible!

Veterans and active service members of the U.S. armed forces have dedicated their lives to the safety and freedom of their country. However, that honorable service may place them at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and cancer.

We’re proud to support one of our incredible community partners, Pink Partee of Security Credit Union, as they host their annual Pink Partee Golf Event on Thursday, August 7th at Sugarbush Golf Course in Davison, MI!

This event isn’t just a day of fun and friendly competition - it’s a chance to stand with breast cancer warriors across Mid-Michigan.
100% of the profits go directly to supporting local patients’ basic needs so they can focus on healing!

Pink Partee has generously donated in the past to help United Cancer Alliance clients, and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued commitment to this cause!

Reserve your spot or support the “Share the Joy” campaign by purchasing a round of golf for a breast cancer patient to use within the year. Every swing makes a difference!

We are so blessed this holiday season to be able to offer assistance to our clients for Thanksgiving and Christmas! 🎅☃️🍗

Thanks to the gracious donations of our partner organizations, sponsorships and community members we were able to provide 15 families with assistance for Thanksgiving and Christmas to make sure that their diagnosis and financial strain hasn't stolen their holiday cheer!

The United Cancer Alliance would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Frankenmuth Community Foundation and the Community Foundation of Greater Flint for their gracious support which has provided much needed assistance to our clients - providing them with food, housing, medical supplies, and much more.

Without the support of these community organizations, so many people in our communities would be worse off.

It is our pleasure to announce that for the course of 2024 we have been fortunate enough to provide assistance to 31 families for a grand total of $50,462.28 in direct assistance!

If you or a family member are struggling with a cancer diagnosis. don't hesitate to reach out to us at ucalliance.org/intake-form to have one of our representatives reach out to see how we can assist you best.

Stay safe, take care, and have a happy holiday as the year comes to an end and a new one rises for us all.

God Bless!
