BLUE ASH, OH (FOX19) - The name is changing, but the mission remains the same:  to ensure no one in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky has to face cancer alone.   After the official unveiling  on October 29 at the non-profit cancer support agency’s annual fall fundraising gala, The Wellness Community of Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (TWC) will be known as Cancer Support Community – Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CSC). 

Everything other than the name will stay the same - especially the broad array of free programs offered at locations throughout the Tri-state to ensure that all people impacted by cancer have the opportunity to be empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community.

The new name reestablishes a consistent identity with the local affiliate’s parent organization, which became Cancer Support Community in November 2009 following the merger of The Wellness Community–National and Gilda’s Clubs
