Cancer Kinship   

At Cancer Kinship, we empower the cancer community to face the disease with confidence through comprehensive support and education programs. Our services include free wigs at our salon, community resource navigation, and initiatives designed to address the emotional impact of cancer.

A Special Invitation for You: Join Cancer Kinship's Giving Circle and take on the "Kinship Challenge" – a storytelling and fundraising initiative that uplifts the stories of our cancer community while supporting our impactful programs. By participating in a giving circle, your donation directly supports programs that enhance the quality of life for cancer warriors. You'll help them regain confidence during and after treatment and navigate post-treatment life. Your support brings strength and solidarity to those who need it most. We offer various options for everyone, ensuring that your contribution makes a meaningful impact.

Our Giving Circle in Action: Your support ensures that cancer warriors, regardless of type or stage, have access to our programs designed to reduce cancer recurrence risks and ensure no one fights cancer alone. You can designate your gift to your favorite program or support them all. Our mission is fueled by our community – without you, our programs and services wouldn't be possible.

Ready to Join a Giving Circle? Explore the various Giving Circle tiers below and learn more about each level. As a token of our appreciation, everyone who joins a giving circle receives a Challenge Coin. 

What is a Challenge Coin? The history of the challenge coin dates back to World War I, when American volunteer pilots received bronze medallions from their squadron leader as a token of camaraderie and loyalty. These coins later became known as "challenge coins" and have been used across various military branches and organizations to symbolize membership, honor, and unity. At Cancer Kinship, we are embracing this tradition by introducing our own challenge coin to "challenge" our community of giving circle members. We encourage you to carry this coin as a reminder of your commitment to our cause. Whenever you speak with someone, share the story of Cancer Kinship and pass along the coin to raise awareness about the unique needs of cancer warriors. Members can earn extra coins by attending exclusive giving circle events, volunteering, and actively participating in our mission. Extra coins are also available for purchase.

How to Share Your Challenge Coin: You can also present the coin to a cancer patient or survivor as a way to honor their journey and share information about Cancer Kinship's programs. This coin challenge is not just a gesture; it's a movement to build community and elevate the voices of cancer warriors across Orange County. By participating, you help us create a ripple effect of support and empowerment, ensuring that no one faces cancer alone. Together, we can make a profound impact and spread strength and solidarity throughout our community.

Join us in making a lasting impact. Together, we can uplift, support, and empower cancer warriors to face the storm confidently and fearlessly.
