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.

For more than 50 years, the Victory Board has served our local cancer community through its partnership with the American Cancer Society, providing direct financial assistance, maintaining the Patient Pantry at the SGHS Cancer Care Center, and funding programs that improve patients’ quality of life.
In 2025, the Victory Board Foundation was established to expand this impact, supporting local cancer patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers through financial assistance and initiatives like complimentary meals for patients and families at the SGHS Nunnally House.
A primary focus of this year’s Gala Royale is the creation of the Insurance Assistance Fund, which will help local cancer patients access and maintain the insurance coverage needed for lifesaving treatment. By easing financial barriers to care, this fund will ensure more patients can receive the treatment they need, when they need it.
For more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
