The CCF Mission:

CCF’s approach to helping Connecticut cancer patients and cancer research is impactful:

We fund Connecticut cancer patients throughout the state through our CT Cancer Patient Assistance Program, partnerships CT hospitals along with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and Dana Farber in Boston. For the past 31 years, CCF has quietly granted over $5 million to more than 6,000 Connecticut families dealing with the financial hardship that often comes along with a cancer diagnosis.

We fund lifesaving lymphoma research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, from basic biology to prevention to treatment and to survivorship. In 1992, CCF began supporting lymphoma research with a $10,000 grant to John’s radiation oncologist – Dr. Joachim Yahalom; the commitment to support research has continued for the last 25 years, providing generous funding to support ongoing cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center under the direction of Dr. Joachim Yahalom, the physician who saved Connecticut Cancer Foundation founder, John Ellis’ life over 30 years ago. CCF has donated more than $2 million to support ongoing cancer research.

The Connecticut Cancer Foundation welcomes partnership opportunities with companies willing to take an “extra step” in helping us support CT cancer patients and fund cancer research. These valuable marketing and corporate relationships generate new streams of revenue for the Foundation – while significantly enhancing the image of partner companies in the eyes of consumers, shareholders and employees alike.

Corporate-sponsored programs offer opportunities for individuals and corporations to participate in advancing the mission of the Connecticut Cancer Foundation. These initiatives make a significant difference to cancer awareness and an ongoing commitment to assist CT cancer patients – engaging corporate officers, employees and consumers.

To the Connecticut Cancer Foundation, a corporate partnership is vital to advancing the mission of the Foundation. By providing funding and public visibility, we are able to continue our grants to CT cancer patients, promote awareness and provide much-needed support to hundreds of patients annually living with cancer, their friends, families and caregivers.
