Care to Share Cancer Support Group began in 2007 as a grassroots, volunteer-led organization dedicated to supporting local cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and families throughout Bourbon, Linn, and Crawford counties. Now entering its 20th year of service, Care to Share remains 100% volunteer operated and continues to provide quarterly support group meetings, meals, gas vouchers, transportation assistance for medical appointments, financial aid, and emotional support for families during treatment and recovery. Through community donations and local support, the organization works to ensure no family faces the cancer journey alone.

From its humble beginnings, Care to Share has been blessed with nearly $2 million in community donations over the years, allowing almost every dollar raised to be given directly back to local cancer fighters and their families, with the majority staying right here in Fort Scott and Bourbon County. The organization credits much of its success to the generosity of local businesses, Chamber members, volunteers, and community supporters.

Care to Share also looks forward to upcoming community events, including:

July 25 – Golf Tournament

September 25 & 26 – FortFest

Celebrating its official 20th Anniversary in 2027.
