Life can change in an instant, and a cancer diagnosis is a powerful reminder of that truth. Through their difficult life experiences, CFC Scholars become wise beyond their years, and we think that should be recognized!

We were truly moved by Leukemia survivor and SDSU student Aimee’s story at our recent event. Aimee shared how Cancer for College has provided her with more than just financial assistance—it’s been a beacon of hope, strength, and community. It’s survivors like Aimee who inspire us to push further through our Bright Futures initiative, ensuring that every survivor not only receives support but also feels empowered to build the future they deserve. We are deeply grateful for her courage and voice. Support brighter futures for Aimee and so many other survivors at https://buff.ly/4gUhJon ! #BrightFutures #Destinedtomakeadifference #CancerSurvivors #CancerScholarships

We are thrilled to share that 24 Jersey Mike’s stores across Florida raised an incredible $20,000 for Cancer for College during their September campaign. Initially committed to supporting our cause with a goal to raise $5,000, the team was deeply inspired after awarding cancer survivor Raphael Meleji his scholarship. His story motivated them to go above and beyond, ultimately quadrupling their original fundraising goal! We extend a special thanks to Area Director Todd Quizni and Franchise Partner Drew Maider, whose leadership played a key role in this success. We are incredibly grateful for our ongoing partnership with Jersey Mike’s and look forward to collaborating again in 2025. #JerseyMikesGives #DestinedToMakeADifference #BrightFutures #CancerScholarships
