The Swing is excited to announce their agreement with MUSC Hollings Cancer Center for the distribution of funds to Breast Cancer patients in need. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is one of 72 National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in the nation and the only one in South Carolina. The MUSC scale and reach in the area gives the greatest opportunity to support breast cancer patients in financial need.

“We are thrilled that our Daniel Island neighbors have decided to partner with us to provide funds for underserved patients who need financial help when they are facing a breast cancer diagnosis,” said MUSC Hollings Cancer Center Director Raymond N. DuBois, M.D., Ph.D. “This type of grassroots effort truly makes a difference in our community, and we are very grateful.”

“The funds we raise help them fill their gas tanks, pay for groceries and childcare, and keep the lights and phones on while they are undergoing care for breast cancer,” said Lori Bayer, President, Swing for the Lowcountry.

In 2023 alone, The Swing helped over 150 women with basic needs totaling $150,000, and since its inception in 2019, has raised more than $400,000 for breast cancer patients.
