What a beautiful evening at the inaugural Soirée at Grange Estate! ✨

We are filled with gratitude for the incredible St. Croix community that came together in support of Cancer Support VI. Through awareness, advocacy, and fundraising, guests helped create an unforgettable evening while making a meaningful impact for individuals and families facing cancer throughout the Virgin Islands.

A heartfelt thank you to our gracious venue host, Grange Estate; Chef Motta and his team for an exceptional culinary experience; Bellows International for helping keep the glasses full; our dedicated volunteers, donors, and every guest who joined us. Your generosity, time, and support made this event possible.

This special evening was about more than fundraising, it was the beginning of new connections, stronger community partnerships, and a growing network of support for our mission.

Thank you for helping ensure that no one in the Virgin Islands faces cancer alone. 💙

Stay tuned for more photos and event highlights coming soon!

💙 June is Men's Health Awareness Month and We're Going Blue!💙

Today, Cancer Support VI proudly kicks off our 2026 Partners in Care campaign, a month-long effort dedicated to raising awareness, encouraging early detection, and connecting men throughout St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John with valuable health resources.

Throughout the month, we'll be sharing local physician spotlights, warrior stories, screening information, community events, and practical tips to help men take charge of their health right here in our own community.

We believe that better health happens when we work together. That's why we're partnering with healthcare providers, businesses, community organizations, and advocates across the territory to support the men in our lives.

And thanks to our generous community match partners, every dollar donated during the campaign will be doubled up to $20,000, helping us continue providing critical support services to Virgin Islanders facing cancer.
