San Diego Chapter BCAN Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network

Mission Statement

The Walks to End Bladder Cancer are BCAN’s signature awareness events and take place in numerous cities throughout the United States, principally in May which is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. Raising awareness about bladder cancer, the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US saves lives. Our walks also generate critical funds that enable BCAN to offer educational resources and support programs free of charge, advance research, serve more patients and families, and continue as the leading provider of bladder cancer services and information in the country. The Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) is the premier bladder cancer-focused nonprofit, addressing the needs of patients diagnosed with one of the most common cancers in America. BCAN has been organizing and hosting Walks to End Bladder for over a decade. These nationwide events have included thousands of walkers in 47 states and have raised more than $6 million toward BCAN’s vital programs and services.
