TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO RESIDENTS OF LOGAN COUNTY WHO HAVE CANCER OR CANCER RELATED ILLNESSES, WHILE PROMOTING EDUCATION IN THE DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCER.

The HEADstrong Foundation was founded by Nick Colleluori, who passed away from cancer at age 21. During his treatments, Nick took note of resources that were lacking for cancer patients and the families who are all affected. Resources such as lodging when traveling for treatment, financial help with medical bills and other challenges, and the need for understanding and support. Today Nick’s mother Cheryl heads the Foundation, and we direct resources whenever we can to families in need.It is our goal to keep Nick Colleluori’s memory alive by being as relentless in helping others as he was.
