The Foundation partners with organizations throughout Northeast Ohio to deliver important programs and support cancer patients and their families. From self-care to food and pantry items, we work with our partners to ensure that those who need help are connected to services that support their mental, physical and emotional health.
Back to School
We provide more than 50 fully stocked backpacks annually to the hematology/oncology department at Akron Children's Hospital for distribution to patients and their siblings. Gift cards are also provided so families can buy extras they may need.
Stephen's Fun Day was created to honor his passion for horses, his determination and his extraordinary ability to bring people together. It is a joyful, spirited event that keeps Stephen's memory alive while supporting the Foundation's mission to help families facing cancer.
The Wig Boutique at Cleveland Clinic Akron General (CCAG) is free to patients and offers a thoughtfully curated selection of wigs, hats, care kits and accessories. A cosmetologist is available to help find the style that feels right, so patients are never navigating that moment alone.
We fund expanded, well-stocked food pantries at Stewart's Caring Place in Fairlawn and Canton. These pantries help families facing cancer and the food insecurity that often accompanies it.
The Renewal Nook at Summa Health's Barberton campus is a spa-like sanctuary to help cancer patients care for their body and and focus on something other than their cancer treatment.
We are looking forward to expanding our services in partnership with Aultman to provide additional support to cancer patients and families in Stark and surrounding counties.
Thanks to the generous support of our dedicated donors, and our longstanding community relations, we are pleased to provide programs and services at no cost to our applicants and participants.
