Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day™ (CSBSD™) is a nationwide and international event that takes place every year on the first Tuesday in June. It is a day of volunteering, when those in the beauty and wellness industries in all fifty states (and elsewhere) offer annually, complimentary services of their choice to all men, women, and children cancer survivors, regardless of their type of cancer or when they were diagnosed.

Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day™ (CSBSD™) is a purely volunteer event with no monies being raised and with no solicitations made on the day of the event or at any other time of the year. Unless a cancer survivor posts on Facebook, no one is ever privy to those survivors who participate in the day. Volunteers decide what services they wish to offer. The cancer survivors make their own appointments for that day. The survivors are encouraged to go to the website participation list, that is in alphabetical order, by state. If there is not listed a place near to where the survivor lives, then they are encouraged to email CSBSD™ at bnp@cancersurvivorbeautyandsupportday.org with names and telephone numbers of a few establishments in the beauty and wellness industries, and they will be contacted.

It is the goal of Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day to reach all those licensed in the beauty and wellness industries to encourage them to volunteer a service of their choice to every cancer survivor who wishes to celebrate the day.

A Personal Message

As a volunteer for many years, in 2003, I learned about a spa in Northern California where so many of their clients were being treated for cancer, that the owner decided to have a spa day for cancer survivors. Thinking it was such a wonderful idea, I went to a spa in my hometown of Highland Park, Illinois, and asked the owner if she might also support a spa day for cancer survivors. She offered a spa evening, there was a waiting list, and I was overwhelmed by the appreciation of the cancer survivors and the wonderful feeling the volunteers felt, participating in the evening. I realized it was not only about the complimentary beauty service, it was an evening of support. In a few years, CSBSD™ was reaching millions of survivors and thousands of volunteers. Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day™ is also recognized, since 2009, with a Resolution in the US House of Representatives, and has been cited by many state and local governments.

What is so important to me is that a cancer survivor or loved one, can google 'cancer survivor', reach this website and learn about all the wonderful programs that support the Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day™ event, and also offer support all year. I am so proud that one website offers so much for those in need.

SeriousFun Children's Network started over 20 years ago, when the late actor, Paul Newman, generously created a place called 'The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp' where children with serious illnesses could go to simply have fun.

I am proud to have the support of SeriousFun Children's Network, knowing they are reaching the families to tell them about Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day, and I am helping to spread the joy of camp to as many people as possible.
