Mission Statement
We are dedicated to supporting people living with cancer, their caregivers and their families by providing the most effective community-based cancer care, resources, and programs.
About This Cause
The cancer conversation has transformed dramatically since our founding in 1995. With limited knowledge and tools available, cancer was a topic that elicited fear and confusion, a diagnosis people struggled to accept and understand. We’ve come a long way since then. In response to community needs and feedback, we’ve evolved from primarily funding research to offering a comprehensive range of evidence-based programs for those affected by cancer, including their caregivers and families. We are committed to valuing lived experiences and addressing the unique needs of our community. Our Community Cancer Hub offers free community-based supportive care and resources for people living with cancer including Cancer System Navigation, mental health programs, exercise and movement, managing symptoms and side effects, nutrition, courses and workshops, social and peer support, programs for youth, children, and families, caregiver support and guidance. Our Cancer System Navigators are skilled healthcare professionals and advocates. They are here to listen, provide meaningful resources, and offer support to those affected by cancer, including their loved ones, to enhance well-being throughout the cancer journey.
