Beyond the Bag Q&A

Who

The Joan Katz Cancer Resource Center guides individuals with any cancer diagnosis, regardless of where they are receiving their medical care, from the point of diagnosis into survivorship.  Funded exclusively through philanthropic individuals, corporations and foundation, all non-medical programming provided by the center is provided free to all individuals and their loved ones.  Since the Joan Katz Cancer Resource Center opened thirteen years ago, over 17,000 people have received non-medical support services.

What

Beyond the Bag is the annual fundraising event, hosted by the Baylor Scott & White All Saints Health Foundation, to raise funds for the critical non-medical cancer support services provided by the Joan Katz Cancer Resource Center.  The celebratory evening is filled with dinner, live entertainment, and high caliber auction items, in both the silent and live auctions.  Over the past thirteen years, Beyond the Bag has raised a total of $3.8 million to ensure that no one has to face cancer alone!
