The non-profit is passionate about giving financial assistance to cancer patients and their families suffering from the immense costs associated with the disease, by implementing fundraising initiatives and programming efforts year round to support their mission.


Through these campaigns, led by Executive Director Kyle Stefanski, the organization works to help raise awareness and yield funding towards cancer programs to support those struggling with the financial burden that accompanies the treatment of the disease. They focus their attention on funding efforts to establish patient assistance programs at world class hospitals, specifically City of Hope, Cleveland Clinic and Cedars Sinai.

"We are blessed to have the assistance of our national hospital partners and supporters to continue to build a legacy of helping others fight this terrible disease through the beautiful memory of my mother, Rhonda Stefanski.”
