COMMUNITY
Mission
During our 15th year, our commitment to those affected by cancer was as inspired
To ensure that all people impacted by
cancer are empowered by knowledge,
strengthened by action and sustained
by community.
as ever. Our focus was to look at where we have been and how far we have come so we could plan
for the future. Having faced, and moved through, assorted challenges we found a renewed sense of
community – the true core of who we are. As the year progressed, we discovered our community
continued to develop and grow stronger. We began reconnecting with old friends like Diane Walker,
one of our original founders, along with Bob and Paula Hardison, Neil Bassett, Jerry Hirsch and many
others. Sharing that sense of community with old and new friends has been both uplifting and
energizing. With this renewed energy and the strong circle of support for which we are so grateful,
the staff and I are thrilled about our future.
Vision
So that no one faces cancer alone®
“Cancer patients who participate in
their fight for recovery along with
their health care team — rather than
being hopeless, helpless, passive
victims of the disease — will improve
the quality of their lives and may
enhance the possibility of their
recovery.”
— Dr. Harold Benjamin,
founder, The Wellness Community
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) states
that it is impossible to deliver quality
cancer care without addressing a
patient’s psychosocial needs and
now requires that programs, like
Cancer Support Community’s,
be incorporated into all cancer
treatment regimens.
Our rededication, and strong sense of community, resonated with the more than 8,000 participants
and their loved ones as they walked through our doors in 2014. They felt warm, welcomed, comforted,
and connected. In the ever-changing and complex healthcare environment, we must always be
mindful of not just the cancer patient but also the “person.” At Cancer Support Community Arizona,
people living with cancer, and their circle of loved ones, can learn how to play an active role in
treatment while finding the hope and support so necessary to improve the quality of their lives.
We could not provide more than 100 critical programs monthly at no cost to participants without
the generous gifts from individual and private donors like you. Thank you for continuing to ensure
our vision: so that no one faces cancer alone®.

Program Impact
2014 Fundraising Events
Cancer Support Community Arizona
provides the only comprehensive
Program of psychosocial services
to people diagnosed with cancer
and their loved ones in the state
of Arizona. Our Program offers
Emotional Support Services, Healthy
Lifestyle Activities, Educational
Seminars, Social Connections and
Resources and Referral. Our services
are evidence-based, professionally
facilitated and provided at no cost to
our participants. Through participation
in our Program, people affected by
cancer learn vital skills that enable
them to regain control, reduce
isolation and restore hope regardless
of the stage of disease.
THE RED CARPET EVENT: With the help of event sponsors, F2 Family Foundation
and Cancer Treatment Centers of America®, The Red Carpet Event was a great
success! Co-Chairs Debbie Gaby and Lea Haben led a committee of 25 communityminded men and women to support this event held on March 27. Community
Champion, Deborah Bateman was named the 2014 Hope Award Recipient.
133 guests were in attendance and helped us raise over $64,000.
Cost of Services
At CSCAZ we provide all programs
at no cost to our members. We do
this to ensure we do not increase the
financial burden during a stressful
and costly time in our members’
lives. “At no cost” certainly doesn’t
mean free. The annual cost to CSCAZ
is approximately $1,000,000.
PORCH PARTY: Event Co-Chairs Sameer Keole, MD and Molly Stockley led the
efforts of our 2014 Porch Party committee. Thanks to the support of both Mayo
Clinic and Cancer Treatment Centers of America as well as 340 guests who
were in attendance, CSCAZ raised more than $200,000 in support of our critical
services. We honored a five-time pancreatic survivor and patient advocate,
Kay Kays, along with Michael Gordon, MD, for their continued support in our
community. The money raised at our 2014 Porch Party will provide services for
over 2,000 individuals.
2014 New Program Services
NEW PROGRAM MODEL: CSCAZ established a Continuum of Care Model to
help members thrive into survivorship. Two new programs now offered are
Surviving and Thriving and Living with Loss. These new support groups were
added to support our members throughout their journey.
PROGRAM EXPANSION: To better serve people throughout the Valley, CSCAZ
launched a Community Support Model. Our goal is to build a community of
support for cancer care that will lead to a broad spectrum of services including
support groups for both those diagnosed as well as family members in community
centers, churches and community organizations throughout the Valley.
We currently offer many of our services at locations throughout the Valley including
Banner - University Medical Center Phoenix, Via Linda Senior Center, Peoria
Community Center, Desert Botanical Garden and Paradise Valley United Methodist.
The partnerships that we have created with these community locations allow us
to offer services to individuals they otherwise do not have access to and in places
where they are receiving cancer care or have an existing community of support.

Rave Reviews...
FRED K.
MEMBER
“I was dealing with being alone in
this world, and when I heard the
words ‘you have cancer’ I had no
support system to lean on. I was
all alone. At CSCAZ someone has
walked the path ahead of you and
can share that experience. You are
not alone.”
ARCELIA L.
MEMBER
“CSCAZ is about courage, about
not being alone and about falling
into the soft hands that can support
you. What I have experienced at
CSCAZ is that life is possible against
all odds. It gives hope in my fight.”
MARY ALICE C.
MEMBER
“Despite cancer, Cancer Support
Community Arizona helps you learn
how to live and envision a future.”
SHANNON S.
CSCAZ FACILITATOR
“My favorite thing about my
role as a facilitator is bearing
witness and honoring the
stories of each cancer survivor
and caregiver. CSCAZ allows
people the right and respect
to have their experience
and feelings validated and
supported. I also feel inspired
by the compassion, support
and resilience I witness on
a regular basis within the
groups and community.”
NIKI B.
CANCER SURVIVOR &
MOTHER OF CHILD IN
KID SUPPORTTM
“We joined KidSupport and
I will truly tell you we made
connections that will impact
us for all our lives. We met
families going through what
we go through. These families
became OUR family.”
JANET S.
MOTHER TO TEEN
CANCER SURVIVOR
“Thank you sooooo very
much for allowing my girls
to attend the prom, they
had the best time and are
still talking about it weeks
later and even made some
new friends. There are so
many days that she doesn’t
smile. It made my heart sing
with joy to see them smiling
ALL DAY Saturday. And for
that I will be eternally grateful.
We are blessed to have an
organization like CSCAZ in
our lives. Thank you again.”
