The U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation team has helped support pediatric cancer research at Children’s Hospital of Michigan and we couldn’t be more grateful. The team spends every Valentine’s Day with us bringing love and teddy bears to the kids in the hospital. It is joyous to see the smiles on the kids faces.

U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation truly is an amazing non-profit. They help support those in critical need, and give so much with all of their hearts to help fight cancer! Each and every person on the board and committee are all volunteers, and give so much of their time and efforts into a fight for the cure. 100% is given back to benefit Cancer Research Grants! U CAN-CER VIVE also donates to multiple Hospitals with funding research grants, to help us get even closer to finding a cure. The U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation truly is a blessing from God!

This nonprofit is truly incredible!!!! The entire team is composed of volunteers so every cent goes to cancer research and families in need in that are going through cancer. With the amount that has been donated to grants so much good has already come in just the three years U Can-cer Vive has been around.

U CAN-CER VIVE is special to me because the group of volunteers make it a point to go on the lab tours and meet the doctors and researchers that will be receiving the funding for cancer research. It provides a better understanding of where the dollars are really going and makes it so much more meaningful. Love this foundation!! :)

My daughter age 6 on May 3 2018 was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. She had a total resection on May 7. She finished her 30 rounds of radiation on July 9. We are currently in maintenance until July of 2019. This diagnosis has shattered our family's foundation right to the core. We are struggling still to wrap our head around this. My daughter is my candle in the darkest night. She is my everything. I am being the best advocate for her. I will not let her down. I will never stop lobbying for more funding and Awareness for Childhood cancer research and funding.

The U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation is a wonderful group of dedicated people who have an unstoppable passion to make the world cancer free. They raise vital funds to enable physician researchers to conduct pilot research projects that may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat cancer. For pediatric cancer, this kind of funding is vitally important, as very little federal research funding is directed to studying cancer in children. The U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation is a major supporter of this important research at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, and our pediatric cancer researchers are very thankful for this funding!

Ucancervive is not just a non profit but an amazing movement to do the right thing when it comes to giving. They not only help raise money to help fight cancer but also fight to make sure funds are used in ways that will help bring the most impact. If you are looking to help fight cancer consider donating to UCanCerVive where you know your money goes.

I have had the privilege to be a part of this amazing charity and feel blessed and honored to watch it grow! The best part is being able to choose directly where our money raised will go! Like many, I have lost family members and friends to cancer and I’m the proud wife of a cancer survivor, my husband and best friend! With that being said, we are committed to help change the trejectory of this disease and will not stop. Our team meets with some of the best researchers who cannot get funded by NIH due to many complicated factors, however, U CAN-CER VIVE has been able to get the needed funds into the hands of these talented scientists. In turn, these grants are resulting in steps closer to cures, better treatments, more successful cancer survivorship! What makes us somewhat unique and so proud is that U CAN-CER VIVE donates 100% of the proceeds to cancer research!

I would like to to a minute to let everyone know about the U Can-cer Vive Foundation. It is a 501c3 where the total profits goes to help fund grants to find a cure for cancer. They host 2 signature events per year and the monies raised stays at local Michigan Hospitals. They have funded grants at University of Michigan Ann Arbor Hospital, Children's Hospital of Detroit, Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak and are now receiving requests from Henry Ford Hospital West Bloomfield. Their mission is to help to have a cancer free world!

This foundation is close to my heart. I love that 100% of the profits go directly to local research grants in Michigan. That is something I love most about the foundation. The committee and volunteers have good hearts and are very passionate about giving back. They meet with each hospital to review grant options and to gain a better understanding of how their donation would help before making a decision, which says a lot. U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation is amazing!
