CCCF's Mission

The mission of The Cranberry Community Cancer Foundation (CCCF) is to generate funds for the support of medical research on the prevention, treatment and control of cancer, and for the promotion of improved patient care for cancer victims.

Cancer touches too many lives. It is a devastating collection of more than 150 diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, which if left unchecked can result in death. Everyone is at risk of developing cancer. On the average, one in two males and one in three females will develop cancer over his or her lifetimes. And for every person that has cancer, there are countless others affected by the pain of their co-worker, friend, family member, or loved one.

To stop the epidemic of cancer, CCCF advocates for new and innovative research methods to seek better ways to prevent and treat the disease.

CCCF’s team of medical advisors is uniquely situated to adjudge the merits and potential benefits of most cancer research programs.

The staff of CCCF invites you to learn more about cancer impact on society and how CCCF is working to stop cancer’s devastating effects.

We welcome inquiries from grant organizations and individuals. To learn more, please contact us.
