Overview
Mission
Cancer Assistance Resource Effort CARE exists to provide personal emotional and financial support for individuals diagnosed by a physician as having one or more forms of the disease commonly called cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2010 over 1,529,560 individuals were diagnosed with cancer for the first time and 569,490 Americans will die from cancer. An average of 1,500 will die per day. This means that nationwide 789,620 men and 739,940 women will begin their lifelong battle with cancer in a single year. The state of California is estimated to be the home to more than 133,955 of these individuals making it the state with the highest number of new cases of cancer in 2010. Statistics are from the American Cancer Society report Cancer Statistics July 7th 2010.
What it reported doing in 2025
Cancer Recovery Therapy: CARE provides funding for cancer patients & survivors for exercise classes training and opportunities through multiple venues. There are more than 18 million cancer survivors in the US and more than 32 million survivors worldwide as of August 2023. Research indicates that the combination of aerobic exercise and strength training dramatically improves the quality of life and overall physical fitness for cancer survivors. From the management of cancer treatment side effects to the reduction in risk of developing additional cancers the benefits of regular exercise are overwhelming and have been shown to greatly decrease ER visits hospital stays and patient readmissions. CARE also provides funding for therapeutic yoga classes at specific locations. This type of yoga is a slow-paced healing practice using gentle poses and movements along with breath work guided imagery and props for atmosphere of total relaxation. These classes are tailored to fit the unique physical and emotional needs associated with cancer and its treatments.
