At the start of the year, Cactus Cancer Society invited our community to nominate standout advocates for the The Young Adult Cancer Advocate of The Year (YAAY) Award – and now it’s time to meet them! We are proud to introduce our 2025 YAAY Candidates! ?? They’re a group of passionate, driven individuals who are making a real difference for young adult cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. These advocates are leading the charge to ensure that no young adult faces cancer alone. YAAY is more than just a competition – it’s a movement for impact. Over the next 8 weeks, supporters will “vote” for the most deserving advocate with their dollars. The candidate who raises the most will be awarded the prestigious Young Adult Cancer Advocate of the Year title – an award that celebrates advocacy while fueling life-changing programs for young adults facing cancer. Your vote makes an impact. Every dollar raised directly supports Cactus Cancer Society’s programs, which are proven to reduce loneliness, anxiety, depression, and psychological distress among young adults facing cancer. It’s time to champion these amazing advocates and our community at large! ?? Cast your vote for the Young Adult Cancer Advocate of the Year here: https://lnkd.in/gZvCWaCq #YAAY2025 #AYACSM #SurvivalIsInsufficient #YoungAdultCancer #CancerSurvivor #CancerAwareness #Survivor #YACancer #AYACancer #Cancer #CactusCancer #CancerAdvocate #YACancerAdvocate #CancerInfluencer
