| WELCOME Cancer for College (CFC) was founded in 1993 by Craig Pollard, a two-time cancer survivor. Craig fought back from Hodgkin's disease when he was just 15 years old and a sophomore at Villa Park High School in Southern California. He won his second battle at age 19, after a bone marrow transplant at the City of Hope Medical Center. "Knowing that I would ultimately return to college after my bone marrow transplant gave me the strength to keep fighting. It gave me a reason to live," says Pollard. To help provide others with this inspiration, he created Cancer for College. Learn More about Cancer for College |
Cancer for College has turned our story into a beautiful magazine that chronicles how we were formed, our own struggles with cancer and the great things our scholarship recipients are doing with the help of our program.
