Our purpose is to direct and encourage young adults with cancer to engage in and take advantage of these programs and services. The reason we do what we do is clear. Each year more than 85,000 young adults in the United States are diagnosed with cancer and in the last 40 years survival rates for that group have NOT increased. Supporting those young adults and fulfilling their unmet need for information and in-person programming is a challenge; CHSCF intends to fill the void with our outreach programs, including Base2Summit.
The Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation (CHSCF) was founded in 2012 to support the growing young adult cancer population and address their needs. CHSCF constantly evaluates its programming to best support our mission and those we serve. We believe it is possible to conquer fear through information, our website and information bags are a guide on that quest.
