Young adults face challenges that are different than other age groups. It’s natural for young people to feel powerful, even invincible. How could an illness stop that? Serious diseases are for old people, right? HOPE Cancer Connection understands this frustration during a young person’s cancer journey.

Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) is a nationwide collaboration of college students, faculty, and staff dedicated to eliminating cancer by working to implement the programs and mission of the American Cancer Society. Hundreds of CAC chapters nationwide show the world that young people care and want to make a difference. CAC involves the entire campus community through four strategic directions: Advocacy, Cancer Education, Relay For Life, and Survivorship. The local branch of CAC is at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. For more info, email cac@uwosh.edu.

Stupid Cancer is a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower those affected by young adult cancer (ages 15-39) by building community, improving quality of life, and providing meaningful survivorship. This is the dominant healthcare brand for millions affected by young adult cancer. Find 1-1 support, conference summits, and podcasts that reach a young audience at the organization’s website.
