Join us for the American Cancer Society Shuck Cancer Gulf Coast on Thursday, November 6, 2025! At this event, participants and volunteers unite to honor cancer survivors, raise awareness about reducing cancer risk, and fundraise to support the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives. When you sign up for Shuck Cancer Gulf Coast, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
The American Cancer Society provides information and resources to help patients and their loved ones manage through cancer treatment and recovery, and to help with the emotional support they need. They also work to remove barriers that stand between the patient and lifesaving treatment. For many patients with cancer, transportation challenges can create barriers to receive the treatment they need. Many people need daily or weekly treatment, often for several months. Family and friends may help, but they may not always have the time or resources to provide every ride. The American Cancer Society is proud to provide transportation assistance to those in need, by giving free rides to cancer-related medical appointments.
In 2022 alone, the American Cancer Society provided more than 323,000 rides to more than 35,000 patients in need through transportation programs.
