HOW OUR ORGANIZATION OPERATES &
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
OUR MISSION
Cops Against Cancer is a 501(c)3 non-profit tax exempt charitable foundation created from generous private and public donations and these donations are tax deductible.
Cops Against Cancer (CAC) provides financial assistance and community resources to cancer patients & families experiencing the overwhelming & unexpected expenses associated with cancer treatments that are not covered by insurances. CAC promotes and provides cancer awareness and prevention within our communities through public events, patient education and motivational and inspirational coaching programs. Our goal is to not only provide assistance but also helps restore dreams, goal setting and normalcy to the lives of cancer patients and their families.
Other organizations concentrate on research; Cops Against Cancer focuses on the acute financial, educational, and emotional needs of individual cancer patients and their families.
CAC is proud that for the past two years, 90 cents of every dollar raised goes towards the client cares programs. No one in the organization receives any financial benefit.
Our highest priority is responding and reacting to the emergency needs from cancers families asking for assistance. We are focused on the patient's need for assistance now. We are compassionate and strive to ease the immediate financial, emotional and mental pain of the client and their families. By providing the client with our supportive service, they can focus on the health challenges they are facing and also provide reassurance they can reclaim their life and focus on their quality of living.
