Kids Cancer Alliance Inc

Family retreat: hosted families impacted by childhood cancer for a weekend of recreational programming and special support sessions. Goals of our family retreat were to build meaningful friendships with others who understand the childhood journey, provide safe, healthy recreational coping skills, and provide opportunity for childhood cancer families to enjoy quality time together and create memorable experiences.

Financial assistance program: program provides financial aid support to local families financially impacted by childhood cancer. Support provided includes covering families' utility bills, mortgage or rent, transportation costs, or daily living expenses such as food, clothing, and supplies.

Scholarship program: the kca scholarship program was established to support young adult cancer survivors and their siblings by assisting them in pursuit of their academic and professional goals. The scholarships are designed to ease the financial burden of obtaining an education from an accredited university, community college, vocational or technical school. Applications are open to individuals who meet the criteria, demonstrate financial need, and show academic and personal potential.

Bereavement assistance: losing a child to cancer is one of the most difficult things a family can experience. The bereavement fund allows us to support families within our programs, and honor a child who has passed away. We hope this provides a small amount of comfort to the families as they plan services for their loved one. Objectives of the bereavement assistance program are: honor a child who has passed away from cancer and provide financial assistance to ease the burden during a difficult time.
