I am honored to be named a GameChanger by the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. I moved to Baltimore from Missouri a few months ago for my job with the Baltimore Ravens. I didn't know anyone in Baltimore when I moved, but I knew I wanted to find a way to make an impact, to feel connected to my neighborhood, my community, and other young adults. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work with the Ulman Cancer Fund because I have always been passionate about people, creating realtionships, and hearing their stories. This program will allow me to directly help young adults, to be a support system for them, and help them in their fight against cancer. I would love your help in making that happen.
I have a goal of raising more than $3,000 by February 1st and the funds will directly support UCF’s free, innovative programs that support the 70,000 young adults who are diagnosed with cancer each year, and their families. Being able to support young adults affected by cancer, makes my GameChangers award more impactful and meaningful than I could have imagined and I would truly appreciate any donation you can make. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and supporting the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults!
I AM PROUD TO BE AN ULMAN CANCER FUND GAMECHANGER!
UCF GameChangers are young professionals going above and beyond. They’re successful at work, committed to bettering their communities, and are leaders among their peers. Each fall, a committee reviews applications and nominations to select the most deserving young professionals and recognizes them for their efforts by declaring them GameChangers. GameChangers agree to support UCF’s mission by serving the young adult cancer community and raising funds to support vital free programs for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer.
About the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults
The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults (UCF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides a community of crucial support to thousands of young adults with cancer through education, scholarship programs, a network of human and health care resources, and support services provided free of charge. Founded in 1997, UCF works at both the local and national level to ensure that all young adults impacted by cancer have a voice and the necessary resources to thrive. UCF changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults and their loved ones impacted by cancer.
CHALLENGE:
Over 70,000 young adults are diagnosed with cancer every year. Young adults (ages 15-39) face a variety of unique challenges with a cancer diagnosis including fertility preservation, social isolation, lack of insurance, delayed diagnosis, and more.
SOLUTION:
The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer. With your support, the Ulman Cancer Fund is able to provide free support services and resources for the young adult cancer community including:
Cancer to 5K - a 12-week training program designed to introduce or reintroduce cancer survivors to physical activity.
Patient Navigation - a free program (onsite at cancer centers and remotely through our office) that ensures no young adult ever faces cancer alone. We provide one-on-one support & resources to young adults and their families to help them manage the cancer experience and long-term cancer survival.
Scholarships - a financial assistance program to help young adults continue their education after being affected by cancer through their own diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one.
UCF House - This year UCF broke ground on a “home away from home” to provide free housing for young adult cancer patients, and their caregivers, in East Baltimore.
Your donation will help make these programs and our mission possible!
