Members of the Guild of Cancer Support Community (CSC) play a vital role in the work that the organization does for those impacted by cancer in the local community. Each year, the Guild raises over $350,000 to help fund the much needed support groups, educational workshops and healthy lifestyle classes offered free of charge to anyone who needs them.

Membership for the 2023 Guild of CSC is now open. Anyone looking to give back to their community and connect with other philanthropic individuals is invited to the Guild recruitment event on Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. at Pinocchio’s Restaurant, 1449 N. Lake Ave. in Pasadena.

Those interested in attending should RSVP in advance so organizers can prepare accordingly.
