April 24, 2026
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 The 405 Venue 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.
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.

Ladies Golf Tournament: June 1st, 2026!
RECAP: Ladies Charity Golf Tournament
The Neighborhood Cancer Connection and the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX are partnering again to host the Ladies Charity Golf Tournament.
The history of this all-ladies event dates back over twenty years as an annual fundraiser for the Cancer Society of Greenville County (now the Neighborhood Cancer Connection). This is a great way for women to enjoy golf, network with other professional business women and build relationships while supporting your local cancer support organization.
