Under the Tuscan Sun

An Afternoon of Hope. A Celebration of Survivorship.
A Commitment to Saving Lives.

Join the Coalition of Blacks Against Cancer (CBAC) for Under the Tuscan Sun, our signature annual fundraising brunch, on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at The Camby, Autograph Collection in Phoenix.

Inspired by the warmth, beauty, and spirit of the Italian countryside, Under the Tuscan Sun is more than an elegant brunch—it is a celebration of resilience, community, and the extraordinary strength of those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Together, we will honor survivors, recognize community champions, and invest in a future where every individual has access to trusted education, compassionate support, and lifesaving resources.

Whether you are a survivor, caregiver, healthcare professional, advocate, corporate partner, or community supporter, your presence helps advance a mission that changes lives.

Why We Gather
Every year, cancer impacts thousands of individuals and families, and too many communities continue to face disparities in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Through education, advocacy, patient navigation, and community outreach, CBAC works to ensure that no one has to navigate a cancer journey alone.

Funds raised through Under the Tuscan Sun directly support programs that provide:

  • Cancer prevention and health education

  • Screening and early detection awareness

  • Patient navigation and support services

  • Survivorship resources

  • Access to culturally responsive information and community programs

Your participation helps us expand these critical services throughout Arizona and across the United States.

An Inspiring Afternoon Awaits
Guests will enjoy an exceptional brunch experience while participating in a meaningful program filled with stories of courage, hope, and impact. The afternoon will feature:

  • Inspiring cancer survivor stories

  • Recognition of outstanding community leaders and champions

  • Special awards celebrating those making a difference

  • Opportunities to support CBAC's lifesaving mission

  • Fellowship with individuals and organizations committed to improving cancer outcomes

Every moment is designed to remind us that when communities come together, hope grows stronger.

A Message from Our President
"Under the Tuscan Sun is more than a brunch; it's a celebration of resilience, hope, and the power of community.

We invite our community to join us for an extraordinary afternoon where inspiration meets purpose, and every guest joins us in the fight against cancer."
