A Long Time Ago,
I Made a Promise…
I made a promise to God that if I got through my second battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, I would do something to make the world a better place for cancer survivors.

ENDOWMENT GOAL

OUR VISION

Thanks to our incredible donors and supporters, we accomplished our goal of raising $10M by 2021, enabling us to award $500,000 in scholarships each year in perpetuity. Today, we’re excited to have raised that goal to $20M. These funds will enable us to provide more extensive scholarship funding, educational experiences, and medical debt relief. We look forward to continued expansion in support of our mission to help cancer survivors thrive through college and beyond.
