Throughout the years, many families have asked CCSCI about making charitable contributions which would be used locally to promote cancer awareness, education and research. CCSCI established the Charitable Fund as a way for people to do just that.

The CCSCI Charitable Fund was established to enhance community-based cancer awareness, education, and support programs throughout Central Illinois.

The CCSCI Charitable Fund is used to support many cancer-related activities (such as Cancer Survivors Day, ACS Relay for Life and the Komen Race for the Cure) that enhance and further cancer awareness and education programs for cancer patients and their families, as well as for the general public, throughout central and south-central Illinois. The CCSCI Charitable Fund also provides educational development opportunities to individuals (such as nurses, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, and radiation therapists) who provide oncology/hematology services in Central Illinois and to students who are interested in pursuing oncology/hematology careers.

The CCSCI Charitable Fund is a component fund of The Community Foundation of Decatur/Macon County. Personal and corporate donations are welcomed and help the Charitable Fund provide a perpetual source of grants that will continue to support cancer-related activities and programs for years to come. Donations are tax deductible.
