TODAY, October 8 is National DAF Day!

We are so grateful for your continued support of Cancer Connection.

It is gifts like yours that enable us to provide free services and programs that ease the cancer journey for people throughout Western Mass.

As we hope you have heard (but we are shouting it from the rooftops) –

We have just opened a Cancer Connection in Springfield!

This is an incredible step forward in our mission to serve even more people facing cancer – and to expand our reach to more underserved populations.

Our Grand Opening in Springfield coincides with another very special day:

National DAF Day!

DAF Day is a national giving day held every second Thursday in October (this year it is
Thursday, Oct. 😎. It’s a day that is dedicated to donor-advised fund philanthropy and an opportunity for DAF holders to amplify their impact by giving together to the causes they care about and encouraging others to do the same. The most powerful way to participate is to have a DAF and use it as a collective to strengthen the missions most meaningful to you.

Your donation to Cancer Connection is a reflection of your values.
If you have a DAF, please consider using it to make a donation to Cancer Connection on Oct. 8

You can participate by going to https://www.cancer-connection.org/donate (or find us on the DAF Day site by clicking on the link above). Our EIN number is 04-349348. If you have questions, or would like to discuss supporting Cancer Connection through a DAF, please contact Liz Horn, Development Manager, at [email protected]

Join tens of thousands of people making TODAY, October 8, 2026 the biggest DAF giving day of the year.

With gratitude,

Chelsea Kline, Executive Director
