SOS supports breast cancer patients in South Carolina focus solely on recovery and not the financial stress brought on by the very difficult battle.

We honor the spirit of Suzy McGrane by raising money and resources to assist and support breast cancer patients from diagnosis to remission.

Patient Stories

Breast Cancer patient denied care related to insurance

Patient transferred in from Volunteers in Medicine Clinic and is starting chemotherapy. Limited home resources. Care closer to home denied related to insurance status. Family unaware of diagnosis.

A 69 year old woman who lives alone. Her insurance recently was paying for rides but then, just last week, coverage ended.

She can't afford transportation, is on a very limited income, and will need to help pay for gas for her friends/family that bring her while we work on trying to explore Medicaid options. Patient also states that paying for groceries is a large part of her monthly expenses and doesn't leave her much left to pay for outside transportation.

annual events

Swing for SOS

The Daniel Island Club and Palmetto Moon present a golf, tennis and pickleball tournament to benefit local breast cancer patients. Monday, October 17th at the Daniel Island Club. Registration details to follow.

Black & White

Every January the Black & White Gala kicks off the year in fundraising for SOS Lowcountry. Held annually at one of the Lowcountry’s most beautiful venues, we gather to dance, nosh, catch up with old friends, and new and most importantly raise money to fund our patient outreach. In 2020 local television personality Erin Kinzele helped us raise over $40,000 that not only reached but exceeded our goal for the evening. Our Board of Directors and Volunteers could not pull off this event without the help of our amazing sponsors. We rely on their generosity to drive this one of a kind event. Please contact us for more information.

Memorial Day

Also an annual event the SOS Memorial Day party is each May at a local outdoor venue featuring live music and local cuisine. One of the original SOS Lowcountry events, friends, patients and community look forward to the spring party. Though we missed Memorial Day this year due to Covid-19 we continue to raise funds for patient care every day.

Pink in the Rink

Pink in the Rink is a long term partnership between SOS Lowcountry and the Charleston Stingrays. One game each year the ice turns pink as we honor those in our families who fight breast cancer. We honor patients all throughout the Lowcountry with testimonials and an honor wall for those we love who we have lost. Pink in the Rink rounds out our three main annual fundraising events.
