Throughout the year, BMC organizes a variety of special events that bring together cancer survivors, people with sickle cell disease, and their loved ones. These events are educational, inspirational, stimulating or relaxing, always enjoyable, and most often, fun!
Check our quarterly newsletter to find out what events are coming up.
Our events include, but are not limited to:
True Story Theater
True Story Theater is a nonprofit, improvisational theater company that offers new perspectives and insights on stories from the audience. With humor, drama, song, and dance, the actors "play back" the experiences told to them!
Survivors Celebration
Every spring BMC hosts its annual Survivors Celebration to honor cancer survivors and their loved ones. Hundreds come together for music, lunch, photos, prizes, and more.
Games on the Green
A fun opportunity for cancer survivors, people with sickle cell disease, and their families to come together to take part in old, familiar games like "Giant Steps," "Red Light, Green Light," relay races, and more. All ages are welcome to participate in this good-natured competition that takes place out on the spacious grassy area in front of the Moakley Building.
Art in the Moment
Cancer survivors, people with sickle cell disease, and their families and friends are invited to express themselves freely and playfully in a range of group activities and make art together. Previous years' projects have included sculptures, collages, mosaics, and much more! No experience necessary. Virtual sessions are held a few times a year by Zoom.
Thanksgiving Musical Fiesta
An evening of good food, live music, and dancing. Performances are by and for members of the cancer community and their loved ones.
Holiday Party
Dinner and festivities for cancer survivors, people with sickle cell disease, and their loved ones who have been recent participants in any of our programs.
We offer support groups in multiple languages, so you can connect with people who have had similar experiences to your cancer journey.
We offer ongoing support activities where you can get to know other patients while building skills or participating in mind/body activities.
We hold a variety of workshops, cultural events, potlucks, and more throughout the year for patients and their families.
BMC offers integrative and complementary health services, such as acupuncture, to patients.
