Dancer's Against Cancer (DAC) is not just an organization; it's a beacon of hope, a lifeline for those battling cancer like myself. I am immensely grateful to be part of the DAC family and overwhelmed by their generosity.

Unlike many other cancer organizations, DAC goes above and beyond by providing direct financial assistance to individuals in need. Their recent award of $5,000 to support my cancer treatment has been nothing short of a miracle. It's not just about the money; it's about the profound impact it has on the lives of those fighting this relentless disease.

DAC's commitment to supporting individuals like myself is unparalleled. They understand the financial burden that comes with cancer treatment and offer tangible assistance when it's needed most.

In times of darkness, DAC shines brightly as a symbol of hope, compassion, and unwavering support. To anyone facing the daunting journey of cancer, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to DAC. They are more than an organization; they are a family, and I am forever grateful for their incredible generosity and unwavering support. We were so impressed, my daughters are now ambassadors and we are raising funds to help others in the dance community. Thank you DAC!

I have been teaching dance for 40 yrs and own my own studio for 21yrs. Two years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Last year pretty much at my lowest point , the MC at KAR dance competition noticed me , and asked some of my parents about me. Ever since then not only do I have my family, friends and studio to support me, but now I have a dance community all across the country supporting me. Every where I turn in the dance community someone is there to help me getting through my treatments, and rooting for me to get well. I can’t thank DAC enough, this community is so important. Thank you ❤️

This beautiful organization impacts members of the dance community and their families in the most generous way! I’m proud to work at a Hope Studio, and DAC has supported two of our families. Teaching our dancers the importance of giving and having them see its benefits first-hand is invaluable, and DAC facilitates that beautifully!

Dancers Against Cancer was able to change the lives of my family during a very dark year. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 and when I received the call that we were being given such a generous amount to help pay my medical bills, I was stunned beyond belief. This organization has played such a pivotal role in my cancer journey, there really are not enough words. And not only did it help me, but my family as well. Being a part of a hope studio has given me the opportunity to be a part of this fantastic community. They check on me, and my daughter, and it truly means the world to us. There aren’t enough thanks in the world for what they have done.

I cannot say enough about this amazing organization!! I have watched them since date of inception grow into a giving machine!! I have always been leery of giving to charities and where the money goes. I have never seen a charity give back as much as DAC does!! One of our own dance teachers and parents have been the recipients of this amazing charity! Every chance I get we raise money and give to this charity! It has been amazing to see the hope stories over the last 12 years!! Class act all the way around!! They put their money where their mouth is!

I can attest to the profound impact this organization has had on our community.The fundraisers we did for dancers against cancer not only provided a platform for showcasing our talents but also instilled in me a deep sense of purpose and social responsibility.
It is more than just another non profit Dancers against cancer gave me the chance to donate and help make a change in the lives of dancers who battle cancer.
I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful cause, and I encourage fellow dancers and supporters to join in giving. No amount is too small and by donating we can all help watch the impact Dancers against cancer is making.
