Overview

Mission

Community cancer fund (ccf) works collaboratively with existing regional cancer organizations to identify and fund gaps in services provided to cancer patients. Ccf is committed to funding programs that benefit cancer patients and families in the inland nw.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ccf supports pediatric cancer patients with our investment in summer camps like camp goodtimes & camp journey. Camp goodtimes is medically supported by pediatric oncology physicians and nurses. The camp is free of charge for children who have been diagnosed with cancer. Camp activities include overnight bunkhouse stays, swimming, fishing, campfires, crafts, hiking and more. Camp journey is based in post falls, Idaho and is also available to children diagnosed with cancer. Camp journey nw is a camp providing a community of hope for children and their families touched by cancer. The goal of both of camps is to allow kids to be kids and enjoy an unforgettable summer camp experience.
