Overview

Mission

The Jennifer Diamond Cancer Foundation is dedicated to helping people win the fight against cancer. The Foundation is focused on enpowering people with knowledge, as well as supporting research and healing programs that provide the tools to help treat the mind and body of cancer patients.

What it reported doing in 2016

CANCER SUPPORT PROGRAMSIn 2016 we offered nineteen cancer support and educational programs free to cancer patients and their families at our offices. We served over 500 families throughout the Los Angeles area. These support programs empower people with cancer, helping them to lead a better quality of life and increasing their chance of survival through education and the reduction of stress. We acquired a new "Cooking for Health" instructor. This program teaches participants practical cooking skills they need for better health and a healthy diet. This can have a major effect in helping cancer survivors to live longer healthier lives. This program saw an increase of 70 additional participants in 2016. We added a new drawing and watercolor program for our participants. The new instructor has 20+ years of experience teaching and working with cancer patients. This program saw an increase of 60 additional participants in 2016.
