Bag It

Since 2003, Bag It has provided education and information to guide those with cancer and their families to help them cope with their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Bag It content extends from newly diagnosed to through end of life to support the number of people who are living longer after cancer treatment. The bag is offered in both English and Spanish Bicultural, and in collaboration with other organizations there are some cancer-specific bags available. We are proud to announce we have provided the Bag It Bag to over 97,680 cancer patients and their families. Bag It Bags are distributed to patients through oncology and radiology offices, clinics, hospitals, tribal health centers, nonprofit organizations, and other medical facilities in Arizona, Nebraska, Montana, Texas and expanding across the United States. Individuals across the U.S. also request and order bags directly from Bag It for themselves or to send as a gift. On feedback surveys patients continue to report Bag It was helpful in assisting them to cope with their cancer, worry less, be more organized, and they were better able to communicate with their healthcare team. We continue to partner with a local AZ non-profit, The Beacon Group, which provides jobs for people with disabilities to assemble and ship the Bag It Bag. Bag It was named the primary beneficiary of a local bike race for the twelfth year.
