The 21^th Annual International Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Conference, sponsored by ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc., will be held October 19-21^st, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. The conference includes a fundraising dinner and silent auction, which is our largest fundraising event. It also includes a live auction and many raffles.

Funds from this function are awarded to research grants to find a cure for all thyroid cancers as well as to support and educate those whose life has been touched by thyroid cancer: people being tested; those newly diagnosed; long-term survivors; individuals with advanced disease; caregivers; family and friends. Your donation would bring in hundreds of dollars during our live auction for our cause.

The annual conference offers the latest research, advances in treatment and follow-up, issues for survivors and caregivers, and coping skills for well-being. This year, attendance is expected to exceed 500 and will include participants from nearly every state and a few foreign countries.
