HELP CHRISTMAS WITHOUT CANCER MAKE THEIR DREAM A REALITY!

For almost 23 years, Christmas Without Cancer has been supporting local families facing the challenges of cancer right from their own kitchen tables in our Southland community. What began as a way to assist ONE family during the Christmas season has evolved into a year-round effort that helps hundreds of families! The year 2024 marked a milestone for CWC, as the organization provided help to 598 families over the year and 114 families during the Christmas season.

OUR DREAM: A CHRISTMAS WITHOUT CANCER HEADQUARTERS!

WE ARE RESEARCHING POTENTIAL PROPERTIES NOW.

No matter what the future holds, one thing is clear: we want our headquarters to be located right in the heart of where our mission began: the Southside!

IMAGINE WHAT THIS NEW HEADQUARTERS COULD MAKE POSSIBLE!

A larger, dedicated space will allow us to:

• Enhance our existing operations

• Create a dedicated area for mentor-mentee gatherings and group events

• Organize classes

• Deliver family support services, such as workshops and resource evenings

• Offer private meeting spaces for guidance, support, and referrals

• Survivor support

• Accept larger-sized donation items and equipment

In short, this new building means more local families battling the hardships of cancer will have much needed additional support, making a more lasting impact.

To make this dream a reality, we are fundraising in three critical phases:

PHASE 1: PURCHASE A PROPERTY

Secure ownership with a significant down payment

PHASE 2: INTERIOR & EXTERIOR UPGRADES

Improvements, safety enhancements, furnishings, appliances, and technology to meet our requirements

PHASE 3: OWNERSHIP

Pay off the loan
