Columbus Cancer Care Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity, providing support services to local cancer patients and caregivers. 

We are celebrating our 8th year with the annual Blue Jean Benefit on September 14, 2023. This is our main fundraising event, and our goal is to raise money for replacement of one of our patient transportation vehicles, as well as support our ongoing programs.
