CCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for young adult cancer survivors by increasing opportunity for college access and success through the following initiatives:

  • An annual college scholarship program that recognizes survivors who demonstrate leadership, commitment to education, and betterment of their community
  • An online community managed by CCC that connects, supports and empowers survivors in pursuit of higher education
  • Scholarship management guidance and resources, including an online database that contains information on thousands of national scholarships for young adult cancer survivors
