We’re proud to announce that Blood Cancer United has been named the 2026 beneficiary of the Santé Health Foundation, launching a multi-event fundraising partnership focused on bringing hope, care, and critical resources to families across California’s Central Valley.
As part of this long-term collaboration, Blood Cancer United will serve as the sole beneficiary of all Santé Health Foundation fundraising activities, including its annual golf tournament and gala for 2026.
As part of the partnership, Kara Herderich-Flores, Director, Marketing and Physician Services of Santé Health System, will serve as a Corporate Walk Chair for Blood Cancer United’s Central Valley in Fresno on November 13. Santé is well known throughout the region for its dedication to supporting nonprofit organizations that deliver measurable impact for local communities. Joining her as Corporate Walk Chair is Matt Morse, General Manager of KSEE24 and CBS47. They will be joined by Zachary Fraser of American Pistachio Growers, who returns for his second year as a Corporate Walk Chair, continuing his strong and longstanding support of Blood Cancer United in the Central Valley.
With the support of CBS47 and KSEE24 this partnership will help raise awareness, connect families to vital resources, and amplify the voices of those impacted by blood cancer.
Together, we are strengthening support for patients and families and accelerating life-saving research for the Central Valley.
Thank you, Alene Mestjian, M.A., and Matt Morse, for all you do and for your hard work in making a meaningful difference for our community and the families we serve..
