FROM SURVIVING
TO THRIVING.
The Ruth Cheatham Foundation provides scholarships to teens impacted by cancer so they can move past their diagnosis and on with their life.
EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT BOXES
Each year, The Ruth Cheatham Foundation sends Educational Support Boxes across the country to young cancer survivors as they head back to school.
These boxes are filled with essential supplies and a dose of encouragement—reminding our scholars that they’re not alone in their journey.
With your donation, we can reach even more students and help ease the burden of starting a new school year.
Each year, 89,500 adolescents and young adults are diagnosed with cancer
Teens receive the LEAST amount of support of any patient population
TRCF EXISTS TO CHANGE THAT
Financial support changes everything.
Providing advocacy, education, financial aid, and hope to adolescents in need.
The Ruth Cheatham Foundation College Fund (TRCF) supports teens impacted by cancer by bridging the educational opportunity gap and providing a gateway to economic mobility and a higher quality of life.
How TRCF is making a difference:
Cancer treatment can be an extreme financial burden on families of teens living with cancer. On top of all the normal struggles of growing up, these teens have to cope with the fear and worry of not knowing whether they can afford the higher education needed to make their dreams a reality.
Scholarships for a better future.
At The Ruth Cheatham Foundation, we want teens to know that their future doesn’t have to be defined by their cancer diagnosis.
We provide college scholarships to young adults who’ve been hit particularly hard by the physical and financial burdens of cancer.
With financial support, young survivors can take the necessary steps to move past their diagnosis and excel for a lifetime.
Your support plays a critical role helping teen survivors move forward, defy expectations, and live their dreams.
