Every donation tells a story. Every volunteer makes a difference. Every sponsorship creates new opportunities for research and care. Together, our supporters have raised more than $11 million, bringing hope to countless patients and families for more than a quarter century.
Thank you to everyone who's attended,
volunteered and sponsored the Barndance through the years!

Thank you for considering a gift to the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation. Our purpose is simple: Get Checked. Save Lives.
Because 100% of every dollar raised goes directly toward that mission, your generosity reaches far beyond a single donation. It brings hope to patients, encouragement to families, and new possibilities in the fight against cancer. Thank you for making a difference!


Barndance is a beloved McHenry County tradition, one that’s powered entirely by volunteers. Together, this incredible community has raised more than $11 million in the fight against cancer. Dubbed the “Best 7 Hours of Summer,” the event celebrates survivors, honors those we’ve lost, and reminds us that every dollar raised represents one more life touched with hope. And that’s worth celebrating!
It takes a village to make Barndance come to life each year, and only happens from the generousity sponsors and underwriters.
Volunteers are needed to help with the success of Barndance. Come join our team of volunteers. Whether you can give one hour or four, we’ll put you to work.
No paid directors, officers or employees. 100% of the proceeds go to cancer programs.
