Stay Involved!

The Neighborhood Cancer Connection hosts a variety of signature events throughout the year—most notably, the Hope Ball and the Ladies’ Golf Tournament. We also offer smaller gatherings and one-time events to help you stay engaged and connected with our community.

RECAP: Ladies Charity Golf Tournament

To all our incredible sponsors and participants- thank you for making the 2025 Ladies Charity Golf Tournament such a memorable success!

It was a spectacular day filled with laughter, camaraderie, great food, and, of course, fantastic golf. This event, with a proud history spanning over twenty years, continues to serve as a meaningful annual fundraiser for the Neighborhood Cancer Connection.

This year marked an exciting new chapter as we hosted the tournament at 3’s Greenville- a venue that brought fresh energy and a vibrant setting to our tradition. From the fabulous food to the friendly competition, and even two impressive holes-in-one, the day was full of highlights.

Special thanks to the Ladies Golf Committee, South Carolina Charities, and the volunteers who helped to make this event truly special.

Proceeds benefit the Neighborhood Cancer Connection & South Carolina Charities, Inc.

Save the Date for the 2026 Hope Ball: April 24th, 2026!

The 2026 Hope Ball

Since 1984, the Hope Ball has been held in Greenville and is considered the premier fundraising event for the Neighborhood Cancer Connection. Held every two years, the elegant, black-tie dinner and dance will take place at a venue TBA in 2026.

WHO BENEFITS & HOW?
The Neighborhood Cancer Connection provides direct services to thousands of cancer patients and their families. In addition, our individual and group counseling services impact the lives of not only patients but also their family members and the bereaved in our community.

Thank you to our sponsors listed below. Without them, the Hope Ball wouldn’t have been possible!

WHY?
Cancer makes people vulnerable on many levels. While attacking the body, it can drain financial resources, strain caregivers, and overwhelm families. For the past 60 years, the Neighborhood Cancer Connection has provided families from all walks of life with hope, support, financial assistance, counseling services, and up-to-date cancer information. We are not affiliated with any other non-profit or cancer organization and are completely dependent on local donations. All funding comes from the Greenville community and all funding remains in Greenville County.
