In celebration of our past 13 years and looking ahead to the next decade, we need you.

We need your partnership, your belief in the healing power of art, and your belief that beauty can arise from pain. In honor of our 13 year anniversary, we have tangible ways you can help. We hope we can count on you.

For over 13 years, Twist Out Cancer (TOC) has harnessed the transformative power of art to support individuals impacted by cancer. We’ve witnessed firsthand how creativity can alleviate the isolation and emotional challenges that often accompany a cancer journey. With over 17 million cancer journeys in the US alone, the need for accessible and impactful support is more significant than ever. Become a Twist Partner and help us expand our reach, ensuring that anyone touched by cancer has the opportunity to experience healing through art and connection. At Twist, we understand that institutional resources for social and emotional wellness can be limited, inequitable, and often cost-prohibitive. Twist Partners are passionate supporters who believe in our mission to make art-based healing accessible to all. Your partnership will directly fuel our programs, ensuring sustainable growth and allowing us to deepen our impact over the next three years.

Check out the Twist Out Cancer podcast featuring Jenna Benn Shersher, Founder of Twist Out Cancer and Dr. David Shersher, Assistant Professor of Thoracic Surgery at MD Anderson Cooper.

Jenna had the idea for Twist Out Cancer in the middle of her own journey with cancer. While in treatment, she had a vision for an organization focusing on the people. A place where families touched by cancer could find connection and emotional support, not just treatment for the cancer itself. 13 years later, she’s done that and so much more!
