These special events include the livestrong challenge events, and the livestrong gala. These events are similar in nature to special events routinely conducted by charitable organizations to increase community awareness and raise funds. Participants in livestrong challenge events walk, run, or cycle for specified distances to show support for individuals living with cancer, the hub of such events is the livestrong village, where participants can access health and sports information. Livestrong challenge events also include a dinner featuring topical speakers, to further spread the livestrong message and to raise funds in support of laf's activities. The foundation continues to provide an expanded menu of mission-related programs. These include grants for cancer survivorship research; grants to community programs; delivery of cancer survivorship education, information, and referral and support services; and grants to survivorship centers at academic medical institutions. The foundation is committed to ensuring that each and every individual affected by cancer has the opportunity to achieve the highest quality of life possible. To that end, the foundation works tirelessly to ensure that the issues affecting cancer survivorship are addressed by organizations and entities around the nation so that the needs of the approximately 12 million cancer survivors in the united states are met. The mission department funds a wide range of initiatives across the country in partnership with leading academic community and advocacy organizations to ensure it is fulfilling its mission.grants and partnershipsresearch program - the foundation provides research grants to institutions in the united states and abroad that address cancer survivorship. Applicants responded to a published request for proposal (\"rfp\") and grantees are selected based on a peer review conducted by advisors who represent a wide array of expertise in survivorship. The opportunity to support research that is patient-centered remains a high priority of the foundation. While the foundation did not formally release an original rfp and fund new research grants, it continued to monitor 60 active grants that are addressing key recommendations from the national action plan on cancer survivorship and the reports of the adolescent and young adult oncology progress review group. These grants focus on areas of need in cancer survivorship that will build on the body of knowledge and services focused on access to quality survivor care and services, adolescent and young adult health-related quality of life assessment and cost effectiveness of preventative survivorship interventions. Additionally, the foundation published a supplemental issue of the journal of general internal medicine that featured articles from the foundation's grantees.the foundation also convened a blue-ribbon panel to review the foundation's previous research grant portfolio and its impact and make recommendations for changes moving forward. The panel recommended the foundation focus its efforts to transform cancer research to be patient-centered through the exchange of electronic health information. The foundation will use these recommendations to develop its new research agenda.livestrong survivorship center of excellence network - the foundation has supported the work of survivorship centers since 2000. These centers historically worked autonomously and served both pediatric and adult survivors. In 2005, the foundation launched a new initiative to create and maintain a network of survivorship centers to foster collaboration among centers and further the impact on cancer survivorship. Only pre-selected nci-designated comprehensive cancer centers are invited to apply for funding and each must collaborate with community-based hospitals.network members:- abramson cancer center, university of pennsylvania-philadelphia, pa- dana-farber cancer institute, boston, ma- fred hutchinson cancer research center, seattle, wa- memorial sloan-kettering, new york city, ny- ohio state university cancer institute james cancer hospital and solove research institute, columbus, oh- ucla's jonsson comprehensive cancer center, los angeles, ca- university of colorado cancer center, denver, co- university of north carolina lineberger comprehensive cancer center, chapel hill, ncnon-network centers receiving funding:- dell children's medical center of central texas, austin, txcommunity program - through the community program, the foundation funds initiatives that address the cancer survivorship issues. The relationship between the foundation and an organization funded through the community program begins with a grant of financial support through a competitive grant cycle, but goes on to encompass much more through technical and capacity-building support. Through the responsible investment of the foundation's resources in community-centered initiatives, it is able to join fellow organizations in serving the underserved, raising and addressing neglected survivorship issues, and impacting people across the united states in a personal, meaningful way. The foundation awarded nearly $1 million in grants to eight community-based programs across the U.S.. These grants focus on education for health care professionals and evidenced-based interventions.livestrong at the ymca- the foundation and the ymca have partnered to create livestrong at the ymca, an evidence-based physical activity and wellness program for people affected by cancer. The program was offered at ymca branches in 30 cities across the U.S.cancer transitions: moving beyond treatment - the foundation partnered with the wellness community, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free emotional support, education and hope for people with cancer and their loved ones, to create \"cancer transitions: moving beyond treatment\", a six-week program for post-treatment cancer survivors. The program provides cancer survivors with the information, skills and tools to address exercise, nutrition, emotional health, quality of life and medical management after treatment ends. The foundation also worked with the wellness community (which underwent a merger with gilda's club to become the cancer support community) to deliver the program and its training materials online.livestrong young adult alliance - each year, nearly 70,000 young adults between the ages of 15 and 39 are diagnosed with cancer. In contrast to those younger and older, survival rates for young adults have not increased since 1975, possibly due to factors such as lack of insurance, less participation in clinical trials and delayed diagnoses.in addition, young survivors often are caught between the worlds of pediatric and adult oncology. They may face a variety of unique long-term effects that will need to be addressed over their lifetimes, such as: re-entry into school or the workforce, insurance coverage issues, infertility as a result of treatment, neurocognitive effects or secondary malignancies.the livestrong young adult alliance (the \"alliance\") is a coalition of organizations with the goal to improve the survival rates and quality of life of young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40. The alliance is committed to promoting research and the investigation of the problem, serving as a voice for the issue and promoting effective solutions.the foundation formed the alliance with the knowledge that unity is strength; by working together they can raise awareness and effect positive change for young adults with cancer. Since its founding in 2006, the alliance has more than doubled in size to include 170 member organizations.acquisition of new assets - for the first time, the foundation acquired the assets of two non-profit organizations to ensure their continuance and growth during difficult economic times. The two organizations were fertile hope, whose mission is to support the fertility needs of cancer survivors, and planet cancer, whose mission is to assist young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer. Both organizations were well known to the foundation, had well-aligned missions and their programs and activities complimented those of the foundation. The foundation worked to transition all assets of the two organizations into its mission activities and began serving their constituents.\n\nThe financial statements for this organization will be included in the consolidated financial statements for a related entity, lance armstrong foundation.

The foundation is committed to ensuring that each and every individual affected by cancer has the opportunity to achieve the highest quality of life possible. To that end, the foundation works tirelessly to ensure that the issues affecting cancer survivorship are addressed by organizations and entities around the nation so that the needs of the approximately 12 million cancer survivors in the united states are met. The mission department funds a wide range of initiatives across the country in partnership with leading academic community and advocacy organizations to ensure it is fulfilling its mission.grants and partnershipsresearch program - the foundation provides research grants to institutions in the united states and abroad that address cancer survivorship. Applicants responded to a published request for proposal (\"rfp\") and grantees are selected based on a peer review conducted by advisors who represent a wide array of expertise in survivorship. The opportunity to support research that is patient-centered remains a high priority of the foundation. While the foundation did not formally release an original rfp and fund new research grants, it continued to monitor 60 active grants that are addressing key recommendations from the national action plan on cancer survivorship and the reports of the adolescent and young adult oncology progress review group. These grants focus on areas of need in cancer survivorship that will build on the body of knowledge and services focused on access to quality survivor care and services, adolescent and young adult health-related quality of life assessment and cost effectiveness of preventative survivorship interventions. Additionally, the foundation published a supplemental issue of the journal of general internal medicine that featured articles from the foundation's grantees.the foundation also convened a blue-ribbon panel to review the foundation's previous research grant portfolio and its impact and make recommendations for changes moving forward. The panel recommended the foundation focus its efforts to transform cancer research to be patient-centered through the exchange of electronic health information. The foundation will use these recommendations to develop its new research agenda.livestrong survivorship center of excellence network - the foundation has supported the work of survivorship centers since 2000. These centers historically worked autonomously and served both pediatric and adult survivors. In 2005, the foundation launched a new initiative to create and maintain a network of survivorship centers to foster collaboration among centers and further the impact on cancer survivorship. Only pre-selected nci-designated comprehensive cancer centers are invited to apply for funding and each must collaborate with community-based hospitals.network members:- abramson cancer center, university of pennsylvania-philadelphia, pa- dana-farber cancer institute, boston, ma- fred hutchinson cancer research center, seattle, wa- memorial sloan-kettering, new york city, ny- ohio state university cancer institute james cancer hospital and solove research institute, columbus, oh- ucla's jonsson comprehensive cancer center, los angeles, ca- university of colorado cancer center, denver, co- university of north carolina lineberger comprehensive cancer center, chapel hill, ncnon-network centers receiving funding:- dell children's medical center of central texas, austin, txcommunity program - through the community program, the foundation funds initiatives that address the cancer survivorship issues. The relationship between the foundation and an organization funded through the community program begins with a grant of financial support through a competitive grant cycle, but goes on to encompass much more through technical and capacity-building support. Through the responsible investment of the foundation's resources in community-centered initiatives, it is able to join fellow organizations in serving the underserved, raising and addressing neglected survivorship issues, and impacting people across the united states in a personal, meaningful way. The foundation awarded nearly $1 million in grants to eight community-based programs across the U.S.. These grants focus on education for health care professionals and evidenced-based interventions.livestrong at the ymca- the foundation and the ymca have partnered to create livestrong at the ymca, an evidence-based physical activity and wellness program for people affected by cancer. The program was offered at ymca branches in 30 cities across the U.S.cancer transitions: moving beyond treatment - the foundation partnered with the wellness community, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free emotional support, education and hope for people with cancer and their loved ones, to create \"cancer transitions: moving beyond treatment\", a six-week program for post-treatment cancer survivors. The program provides cancer survivors with the information, skills and tools to address exercise, nutrition, emotional health, quality of life and medical management after treatment ends. The foundation also worked with the wellness community (which underwent a merger with gilda's club to become the cancer support community) to deliver the program and its training materials online.livestrong young adult alliance - each year, nearly 70,000 young adults between the ages of 15 and 39 are diagnosed with cancer. In contrast to those younger and older, survival rates for young adults have not increased since 1975, possibly due to factors such as lack of insurance, less participation in clinical trials and delayed diagnoses.in addition, young survivors often are caught between the worlds of pediatric and adult oncology. They may face a variety of unique long-term effects that will need to be addressed over their lifetimes, such as: re-entry into school or the workforce, insurance coverage issues, infertility as a result of treatment, neurocognitive effects or secondary malignancies.the livestrong young adult alliance (the \"alliance\") is a coalition of organizations with the goal to improve the survival rates and quality of life of young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40. The alliance is committed to promoting research and the investigation of the problem, serving as a voice for the issue and promoting effective solutions.the foundation formed the alliance with the knowledge that unity is strength; by working together they can raise awareness and effect positive change for young adults with cancer. Since its founding in 2006, the alliance has more than doubled in size to include 170 member organizations.acquisition of new assets - for the first time, the foundation acquired the assets of two non-profit organizations to ensure their continuance and growth during difficult economic times. The two organizations were fertile hope, whose mission is to support the fertility needs of cancer survivors, and planet cancer, whose mission is to assist young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer. Both organizations were well known to the foundation, had well-aligned missions and their programs and activities complimented those of the foundation. The foundation worked to transition all assets of the two organizations into its mission activities and began serving their constituents.\n\nThe financial statements for this organization will be included in the consolidated financial statements for a related entity, lance armstrong foundation.
