Viva La Cure- A Night of Hope
Dear Friends of CAGNO,
The Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans (CAGNO) is pleased to announce the 6th Annual “Viva La Cure – A Night of Hope” fundraiser on Saturday, September 28th, 2019 at The Jung Hotel New Orleans.
Viva La Cure has become a premier social event in New Orleans with patrons attending from the local medical community, as well as supporters from across the state.
Since 1959, CAGNO has been a leader in providing direct financial support to cancer patients in Southeast Louisiana.
In 2018, donors like you made it possible for CAGNO to provide 783 patients and their families with ongoing support during cancer treatment. Together we have:
- Provided 545 patients with household living assistance
- Helped 432 patients with co-pays and medical supplies
- Distributed 800 $25 gas cards for transportation assistance to treatment
- Filled over 1,500 patient’s prescriptions
- Educated over 1,500 community members on cancer prevention
We encourage you to support CAGNO by becoming a sponsor or donating a signature item for the silent auction. Your donation is the best way to ensure continuous cancer care treatment for family members, friends and neighbors, in our community, faced with a cancer diagnosis.
Thank you for your continued support as we hope to make this our best year as CAGNO celebrates its 60th Anniversary of helping local cancer patients!
Sincerely,
Viva La Cure Committee Chairs

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Spread the word about mammograms and raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer.
We are a group of women and men who unite every year for the fight against breast cancer. The founder, Stephanie Stewart, has seen the face of breast cancer with her own family. Her mother, 3 aunts, and 2 cousins have been hit by that ugly C word. Driven by watching her own mother go through chemo and recovery, she and her amazing friends and family, continue to help local charities. The community has always come through in times of need. Who doesn’t want another excuse to party in New Orleans? Especially, to benefit a local charity!
