Thank you for supporting
Beyond the Bag!
Beyond the Bag
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. Beyond the Bag has raised over $5.4 million over the past 14 years!
Event Update
Due to anticipated inclement weather and with the safety of our guests as our top priority, the 15th Annual Beyond the Bag event has been cancelled.
While we will miss the opportunity to gather in person, our commitment to the individuals and families served by the Joan Katz Cancer Resource Center remains steadfast. We are grateful for your continued support as we work to preserve vital fundraising efforts that advance our mission.
The Beyond the Bag Silent Auction is open and will remain live until 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 24, 2026. With 90+ incredible packages, including two exclusive Super Silent items, there’s something for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding, generosity, and continued support. No matter what the forecast brings, we’re here to ensure that no one has to face cancer alone.
