Cancer Support Community Celebrates Wellness

In a remarkable display of community support, CSC South Bay hosted its 26th annual Celebrate Wellness event at the South Coast Botanic Garden.

The sold-out garden party featured fare from over 30 restaurants, wineries, and breweries, drawing 600 enthusiastic guests. The event raised an astounding $428,000, setting a new record. These proceeds will directly fund 200 free support programs each month, benefitting cancer patients and their families.

Jillian Van Leuven, CSC South Bay’s Executive Director/CEO, expressed her gratitude to the sponsors, donors, and volunteers. Diane and Kyle Kazan, former CSC South Bay participants, shared their powerful journey of battling stage-3 breast cancer and their involvement with the organization. The event also recognized Stephen Lottenberg PsyD, MD, and Ruth Schriebman, PsyD, LMFT, for their 25 years of service in aiding cancer patients and their families.

The event’s top sponsors included South Coast Botanic Garden, County of Los Angeles Supervisor Janice Hahn, and other prominent supporters. To learn more about CSC South Bay’s free educational and support programs for cancer patients and their loved ones, visit cscsouthbay.org
