Mark your calendars October 13, 2026!

Dine out at Nando’s and support a meaningful cause! A portion of the day’s proceeds will be donated to the Desert Cancer Foundation of Arizona (DCFA), helping support DCFA’s mission of providing lifesaving screenings to those who are underinsured or uninsured in Arizona.

Dine with purpose and help make a difference in our community!

What we do

Two ways we close the gap for Arizonans who fall through it.

Breast Screening

Free mammograms for women who are uninsured, underinsured, or simply cannot afford to find out. Over 4,000 screenings provided so far.

Fund a screening

Mobile Mammogram Unit

We partner with a mobile mammogram unit that brings screening into the community, instead of waiting for people to find their way to a clinic.

Fund a screening

Every screening counts

We are an all-volunteer board, so 100% of every donation reaches a patient. Last year your support grew screenings by 26%. Every $160 is one more mammogram for someone who could not otherwise have one.

Hope. Care. Support. Together.

No Arizonan should discover cancer too late because they could not afford to look. Serving Arizona since 1998, entirely by volunteers. Every gift is a screening, a diagnosis caught in time, a family that gets more years together.
