Fall 2008

Dear Survivors, Supporters and Friends,

As we round the corner towards the end of 2008, we would like to say thank you for making this the most successful year in CCC’s history.

We don’t mean to toot our own horn (well maybe just a little) but the response to our new website has been tremendous. We added more functionality and features geared towards giving young adult cancer survivors the information they need to access and succeed in education after high school.  

We also set a goal in 2008 to simplify the search for financial aid for all young adult cancer survivors. It began with the question, ‘How can we make the difficult world of financial aid easier for survivors to navigate?’ Our solution is CCC Pedia, the first-of-its kind database containing centralized information on over 3,000 national college scholarships specifically for young adult cancer survivors.

We are also proud to announce that 2008 was our largest scholarship pool to date. With the help of our renowned Scholarship Committee, we awarded college scholarships to 20 incredible young adult cancer survivors who are making their higher education dreams a reality. We believe that their stories of courage, survival and hope will inspire you to create positive change in your own life.  Read more...

This fall has been full of change. We believe that you are going to be impressed with the new CCC. Thank you again for your support during this period of transition. We hope that you will join us in the exciting journey ahead.

Best Wishes, 

Carolyn, Jamie and Whitney
