What is Stripping for a Cure?

At Stripping for a Cure, our goal is to raise funds for the Cancer Survivorship Program and Oncology Fund at St. John’s Health Foundation.

For 17 years, SFAC has supported people in our community facing an oncology diagnosis through financial assistance and wellness services including counseling, nutrition support, oncology-specific therapies, wigs, acupuncture, massage and more.

Our signature event, Fishing Day, is held every August to raise money and awareness for patients and families affected by cancer. Our Fishing Day is the ultimate fishing experience for female anglers with professional guides and unbelievable camaraderie. We look forward to having you join us!
