WE CONNECT YOU TO CANCER RESOURCES AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN NEBRASKA

A coalition of cancer philanthropies is important to the state of Nebraska and the cancer community. As such, we launched this website to provide you with resources for your journey, from the type of cancer you have, to specific types of support you may need, to what’s available in your local area.

The goal of NCAN is to highlight all of the cancer philanthropies in Nebraska and what they do, so patients will have a one stop resource to turn to for support. Additionally, family members, loved ones and community activists will be able to join the fight through the various resources, volunteering and donation opportunities.

For patients, we hope you find the support you need in your cancer journey and beyond. For philanthropies, we hope you find inspiration from other organizations just like you and join forces when you can. Thank you for stopping by and please do reach out with questions and ideas that help our cause.
