Overview

Mission

To help teens and young adults impacted by cancer live their very best lives through a comprehensive continuum of support.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization continues to lead the way with innovative, age-appropriate resources for adolescents and young adults (ayas) with cancer. A new mobile web app, focused on fitness and nutrition, and geared to their unique needs, abilities and interests, helps ayas stay strong during treatment, builds confidence and self-esteem after treatment, and develops health-maintenance habits for healthy survivorship. Organizational outreach continues to expand in both communities where the organization has a physical center, rochester and syracuse, ny. Approximately 150 ayas, and their families and friends, participated in the organization's peer support programs this year, both in-person and virtually.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
