Community Cancer Fund

The ella mckeirnan memorial fellowship was established to provide local high school students with an 8-week immersive cancer biology research experience at notre dame's harper cancer research institute. During 2024, ccf helped fund six student fellows for the inaugural year of this immersive lab research program.

Ccf supports pediatric cancer patients with our investment in summer camps like camp goodtimes & camp journey. Camp goodtimes is medically supported by pediatric oncology physicians and nurses. The camp is free of charge for children who have been diagnosed with cancer. Camp activities include overnight bunkhouse stays, swimming, fishing, campfires, crafts, hiking and more. Camp journey is based in post falls, idaho and is also available to children diagnosed with cancer. Camp journey nw is a camp providing a community of hope for children and their families touched by cancer. The goal of both of camps is to allow kids to be kids and enjoy an unforgettable summer camp experience.
