Overview
Mission
The organization's objective is to raise funds through various fundraisers to help local organizations and individuals in the community battling cancer.
What it reported doing in 2024
Fighting cancer is hard, it is even harder if you have limited financial resources. Going Coconuts for a Cure was founded to give local cancer patients with limited financial resources real hope. Your donations to Going Coconuts for a Cure are used to help fund families dealing with this difficult disease. Over 2,800 people in Kern County are affected with the cost of treatment that is beyond their means. Your donation will give these patients the hope they need to survive. We are here to help the families pay out of pocket expenses that insurances will not cover. Having these out of pocket expenses can put a large burden on a family. These costs can be for items such as: travel expenseshotel staysmeals during treatmentsextra child care costspecial food and nutritional supplementsspecial equipment or clothinghousehold billsmortgages & rent
