Let Every Woman Know – 2026 Awareness + Arts of Healing Weekend
Contributed by Tessa Ely
This February, Alaskans will come together for something truly meaningful as the 14th Annual Gynecologic Cancer Awareness & Arts of Healing Weekend returns February 6th–8th, 2026. The weekend will be a powerful gathering of survivors, families, caregivers, artists, community members, and healthcare professionals — all united by one purpose: to support women across Alaska who are facing gynecologic cancer.
Hosted by Let Every Woman Know – Alaska, the weekend is designed to do more than educate. It will create space for connection, healing, and remembrance, while raising funds for programs that directly support women in their cancer journeys.
The weekend features an art show, educational conference with experts from across the country, a Mardi Gras themed benefit concert with Denver based Blessing Chaminga, and a memorial celebrating the Alaskan women lost to gynecologic cancers in 2025. Funds raised will stay right here in Alaska, ensuring that women across the state have access to the support they need while facing gynecologic cancer.
Community members are encouraged to attend, donate, and spread the word. Whether you are a survivor, a caregiver, a medical provider, or someone who simply believes in lifting others up, this weekend is your chance to stand with women who need our support most.
