Queen City Fork Cancer will take place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at Suffolk Punch Brewing, SouthEnd. The evening brings together the best of Charlotte’s vibrant food and brewery scene under one roof to benefit the American Cancer Society. We also recognize and celebrate the fundraising efforts of our ACS GenNow Network Charlotte’s emerging leaders.
The 2026 GenNow Network Charlotte Chapter has many things to celebrate! In our third year as a chapter, we raised $23,000 surpassing funds raised in our previous years. As a team, we volunteered 188 hours, grew our membership to more than 20, and raised almost $17,000 from Sponsorships. We could not reach any of the milestones without all of you. Let’s keep the momentum going.
Leadership
The American Cancer Society provides information and resources to help patients and their loved ones manage through cancer treatment and recovery, and to help with the emotional support they need. They also work to remove barriers that stand between the patient and lifesaving treatment. For many patients with cancer, transportation challenges can create barriers to receive the treatment they need. Many people need daily or weekly treatment, often for several months. Family and friends may help, but they may not always have the time or resources to provide every ride. The American Cancer Society is proud to provide transportation assistance to those in need, by giving free rides to cancer-related medical appointments.
In 2022 alone, the American Cancer Society provided more than 323,000 rides to more than 35,000 patients in need through transportation programs.
Learn MoreFor more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
