A MESSAGE FROM ALLYSON WHITNEY FOUNDATION

AWF provides ‘Life Interrupted Grants’ to young adult patients battling rare cancers, to ease their financial burden with a Life Interrupted Grant, so they can concentrate on healing. YOUR donation provides aid in a global wide research data base for a rare cancer SCCC, supporting oncofertilty treatments for males and females to preserve fertility prior to treatment, partnering with a portal for emotional support and providing HOPE comfort bags to oncology suites.

The organization is volunteer based and we are passionate about what we do.

Facts There are 85,000 young adults (16-36) diagnosed every year in the United States. Cancer is a global issue. In 20 years, survival rates have not greatly improved for young adults battling cancer worldwide. There are limited resources for treatment and young adult cancer patients have unique needs. Young adults patients are caught between pediatric and adult care; in most cases the diagnosis is a rarer form of the disease.

Make 2025- 2026 your year to start your passport series! Join our #AWFSQUAD and bring HOPE. Commit to raise a minimum of $500 USD  and you receive guaranteed race entry to your super half chocie, with an AWESOME FEELING as you help a cancer patient with a ‘Life Interrupted Grant!’

Level up your goal to $750 USD and we will send an online gift as a thank you for  spreading awareness.

Our inspiration Ally, 25 years young, was taken from us way too soon from cancer. Ally could be your daughter, sister, family or friend.

Ally’s words resonate with us still today, “In order to go through this, you need to have HOPE.”
