Louisiana Cancer Foundation

Last night, the Louisiana Cancer Foundation was honored to be among the distinguished nominees for the T.H. Scott Award of Excellence through the Monroe Chamber of Commerce.

We were especially grateful to see our founding organization receive the Spirit of Hope Award, a recognition that reflects the compassion, dedication, and commitment of so many people working together to support cancer patients throughout our region. Special congratulations to all award winners, and especially the Northeast Louisiana Cancer Institute!

A special thank you to Lacy Miletello for recognizing our work and submitting the nomination. We are deeply honored.

This recognition belongs not only to our organization, but also to the generous donors, volunteers, and supporters of the Cancer Foundation League and the MAD Dash 5K. Through your generosity, hope is reaching cancer patients and their families every day.

Together, we are truly Making A Difference—providing hope, assistance, and encouragement to cancer patients, their loved ones, and our community.

We want to say a big THANK YOU to our MAD Dash 5k race committee!!

Registration is open now for the September 26th race! Sign up here: Maddash5k.com.

Use code: EARLY26 and receive $5 discount!

We’d like to wrap up National Volunteer Week by recognizing this fabulous group of volunteers who, as a whole, make the Mad Dash 5K a success! Our group of volunteers came together (most of which served together on the committee that was responsible for the NELA Race for the Cure) and reimagined and reinvented that event that we now know as the Mad Dash 5K, benefitting the Louisiana Cancer Foundation. 100% of the funds raised stay right here in our community to help cancer patients undergoing treatments. Our group starts meeting 8 months prior to the Race, making so many sacrifices to ensure the success of this fundraiser. We couldn’t do it without this group of local community leaders so please join us in thanking them. THEY are making a difference!
