Empowering cancer survivors.

Battle Cancer Community Alliance supports cancer survivors in Calhoun County with financial assistance, community connections, and education for life after treatment. Every penny stays local.

Our town, our fight.

Bridging the gap

Insurance covers the treatment. It does not cover the rest. Battle Cancer Community Alliance steps in where treatment ends, helping survivors with car loans, mortgage payments, food, utilities, and the personal needs that keep families going during recovery.

Financial

Direct payments to billing companies. Help with mortgage, utilities, food, and personal needs during recovery.

Community

Peer groups, partner programs, and recreational activities that connect survivors and their families.

Education

Resources, guides, and information for navigating life after cancer treatment.
