In 2011, the Hyde Park Blast donated more than $40,000 to The Cure Starts Now and Cancer Support Community - Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky. The Blast is committed to helping find the cure for cancer and supporting those in our community who are fighting the disease.
The Cure Starts Now
The Cure Starts Now is dedicated to funding research to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer. Many cancer experts believe that research directed at pediatric brain cancer may offer clues to curing other forms of cancer, both adult and pediatric.
The Cure Starts Now Foundation fights for the cure for children with brainstem glioma and cancer survivors everywhere. The cure for cancer is just as important as it is elusive. We can cure cancer one-by-one or we can focus on THE cure which we believe will come from a cure brainstem glioma. The fight begins today and the cure starts now!
Cancer Support Community - Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
The name changed last fall, but the mission will remain the same - to ensure no one in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky has to face cancer alone.
Cancer Support Community - Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CSC) continues to provide the broad array of free programs offered at locations throughout the Tri-State to ensure that all people impacted by cancer have the opportunity to be empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community. The new name aligns the local affiliate with its parent organization, which became Cancer Support Community in November 2009.
More than 14,000 people in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are diagnosed with cancer every year - that’s why CSC’s programs are so vital. Whether under the banner of The Wellness Community or Cancer Support Community, we’ve been here for the last 20 years, providing free programs for people with cancer, their families and caregivers, and cancer survivors.
Cancer Support Community will continue to provide professionally led support groups, educational workshops, nutrition and exercise programs, and stress reduction classes designed to complement conventional medical care. All programs are available at no charge. Each month approximately 150 programs are offered at the Lynn Stern Center in Blue Ash and a facility in Ft. Wright, KY.
Cancer Support Community – Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky is part of a global cancer support network with more than 150 locations worldwide. First established as The Wellness Community in California in 1982, the non-profit was launched in Greater Cincinnati in 1990 and since that time has provided thousands of people impacted by cancer with easy access to information; and a connection to a vibrant community of people supporting one another.
