MLC Cancer Foundation

The MLC Cancer Foundation is a tax-exempt non-profit dedicated to fighting cancer.

The MLC Cancer Foundation extends a helping hand to cancer patients by providing vital financial assistance to alleviate the burdensome expenses associated with their diagnosis. Beyond financial support, our foundation is committed to educating individuals about the importance of preventative measures and the valuable benefits of genetic testing for the entire family. COMPASSIONATE BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS

When you devote your time to the MLC Cancer Foundation in Martinsville, Virginia, you're joining the battle against ovarian and breast cancer. In less than thirty days after its inception, our organization garnered recognition and support from both the Martinsville Bulletin and a local television affiliate. Founded by a resilient three-year breast cancer survivor, our mission is to ensure that those who receive a cancer diagnosis have access to the treatment and support they need. DRIVEN BY A HEARTFELT MISSION

Our founder's journey began with the loss of her grandmother to cancer, a tragedy that struck her family repeatedly with diagnoses. In response, she made a heartfelt commitment to provide unwavering support to her loved ones. Inspired by her mother's strength and determination, she co-founded this nonprofit organization, driven by the desire to extend the same invaluable support to others in need. Given the prevalence of cancer diagnoses in our region, our dedicated team shares a resolute mission: to raise awareness, promote healthy dietary choices, and encourage proactive testing to combat this pervasive challenge.
