Current Alliance Programs
01
screening program
The Alliance partners with medical and dental clinics worldwide to offer FREE screenings and awareness programs for their local communities.
Medical professions simply register their event, and we assist with the PR and marketing by providing resources, brochures, posters, and even t-shirts for your volunteers.
This program is open year-round.
02
financial assistance Program
For several decades, the Head & Neck Cancer Alliance has been proud to support head and neck cancer patients through financial assistance.
03
Peer-to-Peer MENTOR Program
Through a partnership with Imerman Angels, we provide support for the individuals facing head and neck cancer.
We believe no one should face cancer alone, and whether you are a patient, survivor, or caregiver, you have the opportunity to connect with someone to give or receive support.
04
Ambassador Program
We recognize that people draw more strength and knowledge from hearing directly from patients and caregivers. Our ambassadors are cancer survivors or caregivers whose inspirational journeys give true meaning to what happens when you are diagnosed with cancer.
Ambassadors are available to speak at meetings, events, and can participate in research on patient journeys and/or designing clinical protocols (focus groups available via sponsorship only).
05
Survivorship Symposium
Each year we host our Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship Symposium. This event can be attended virtually or in person.
The Symposium features leading experts in their fields along with survivors who share their lived experiences. This event is a great opportunity to meet with other survivors who understand exactly what you’ve been through.
06
Survivorship Webinars
Our webinars happen throughout the year and focus on different topics that will help head and neck cancer patients understand what to expect before, during and after treatment and tips on managing side effects from treatment.
07
Online Support Community
Our free online community forum (through the Inspire platform) allows patients, survivors, caregivers, and their loved ones a chance so ask questions and receive support in a safe environment. It’s free to join and connect with others experiencing similar diagnoses, treatments and outcomes.
08
H&N Connect
Join us in our new caregiver education series. Together with other caregivers, you’ll gain tips and support through a series of recorded online videos and support-group chats.
Please note: these classes are only offered a few times a year, and space is limited!
09
move-a-thon
The Move-A-Thon is our national fundraiser held in conjunction with HNC Awareness Month. The event raises funds and awareness while bringing together patients, survivors, caregivers, and their supporters while honoring those we’ve loved and lost.
Fundraising is encouraged, but optional, so come move with us in April and help spread the word about symptoms, risk factors, and prevention of head and neck cancers.
10
awareness month (april)
April is Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month. During the month, we encourage you to attend a local head and neck cancer screening or ask that you help spread awareness about these types of cancers.
Of course, you can do those things year-round as well!
