RISE ABOVE film screening / fundraiser for Cape Wellness Collaborative

Rise Above follows Cape Cod music icon Sarah Swain’s deeply moving journey of losing her mother to cancer and how that experience motivated her to make a difference in her community for others diagnosed with cancer.

As a local musician, Sarah Swain first created the Cape Cod Women’s Music Festival in 2012 to raise money for cancer patients. Wanting to do more to help her community, in 2014, Sarah founded the non-profit Cape Wellness Collaborative, under the guidance of attorney Bruce Bierhans. CWC works with a team of outstanding local wellness professionals to provide free-of-charge integrative wellness therapies to those facing cancer on Cape Cod. Sarah’s goal continues to be helping each patient with cancer feel better through integrative therapies that “aim to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease.”

Sarah's work has made a broad reach within the Cape Cod community and beyond. In 2019, Sarah and Cape Wellness Collaborative were awarded the Massachusetts Nonprofit Council’s Innovation Award. In 2020 Sarah received the Massachusetts Red Cross Community Hero Award, and, in 2021 she received the National Women’s Council of Churches Humanitarian Award.

The screening will be followed by a brief panel discussion and Q&A.

Proceeds will benefit Cape Wellness Collaborative and its mission is to help residents of Cape Cod and the Islands who are facing cancer feel better through integrative therapies, nourishing meals, and emotional support services.
