Event Information

The American Cancer Society’s Junior Executive Board welcomes you to Shuck Cancer! This board is formed by young professionals in the business community, in partnership with New Orleans restauranteur, John Michael Rowland, to raise awareness and funds through our signature event, Shuck Cancer. Known as the best party with a purpose in town, Shuck Cancer showcases oysters from across the country, wine pairings, spirits, 30 local restaurants providing non-oyster cuisine, live music, and mobile bidding for our silent auction. Since its inception in 2018, Shuck Cancer donors have raised over ONE MILLION DOLLARS for our Louisiana Patient Transportation Grant Program benefiting cancer patients in area health systems, and helping to equalize cancer outcomes in our community. Having cancer is hard. Getting to treatment shouldn’t be.

Our Mission

Mission Funding: Patient Support & Transportation

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.
