To encourage and empower others, especially children, to get involved and make a difference for children with cancer by raising global public awareness of childhood cancer through education initiatives; and to raise money PRIMARILY for research into earlier detection, newer treatments, and cutting edge, targeted therapies and cures for pediatric cancer that will be gentler and more tolerable through all stages: discovery, diagnosis, treatment, and remission.

Layla's Legacy Foundation is committed to raising funds to cure Medulloblastoma and to supporting families impacted by the disease.

The Michael Hoefflin Foundation for children's cancer is a public non profit 501 (c) (3) foundation that provides financial and emotional support to children and their families in the Santa Clarita and surrounding valleys.

We believe no one should die from breast cancer simply because they can't afford a mammogram. The Rose has been committed to eliminating breast healthcare inequities for Southeast Texas women since its founding in 1986. The organization was founded by two pioneering women determined to provide comprehensive, quality breast care. The Rose provides mammograms, diagnostic work including biopsies, and access to treatment if needed to all women regardless of their ability to pay.  Each year approximately 7,000 uninsured women and men in our community come to The Rose for help. They have no other place to go. The Rose is the only nationally recognized nonprofit breast health organization in Texas that simultaneously serves the insured and the uninsured through a preventive, culturally sensitive, family-centered, and community-based approach. We have the highest ratings available from independent charity watchdog organizations. While we know we can’t stop breast cancer from happening, together, we can make a difference in whether an uninsured woman survives it.

Canary Foundation is the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated solely to the funding, discovery and development of tests for early cancer detection. Identifying early stage cancers will save lives; while less than 15% of research funding goes to early detection, early intervention is far more effective than late stage treatment. The greatest advances in cancer research can be obtained — and more lives saved — by reorienting research toward earlier detection and prevention.

Our Mission is to empower the lives of people affected by cancer in Northern Nevada through connection, education, hope, and healing from diagnosis through survivorship.CCC recognizes the challenge for survivors and their loved ones in returning to everyday life while adjusting to the physical and emotional effects of treatment.

Their experiences may lead to PTSD, depression, anxiety, and a general absence of long-term well-being. CCC's survivorship program helps people process emotions and grief, improve quality of life, create personal connections, and empower survivors to reclaim joy and purpose at any stage of their cancer journey.
