About Us
Cancer Among Us, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Tampa, FL. created to help underprivileged cancer patients have better outcomes in their fight against cancer. With the help of our community, the goal of our programs is to reduce cancer disparities in underserved communities including, but not limited to, the Black/African American population.
Statistics have shown that Black/African Americans continue to have the highest death rates in certain cancers.
We want to make a difference through our educational and awareness efforts by committing to provide humanitarian, informative, and cross-cultural services throughout Tampa Bay FL and beyond.

Programs
Financial Assistance Program:
Our Financial Assistance program aims to alleviate the financial burden of undergoing chemotherapy by providing financial support for cancer care. We ensure patients have access to cancer-related medications, supplies, transportation, and any other necessities for their cancer journey.
Education, Screening, and Awareness:
Through our Education, Screening, and Awareness initiatives, we actively engage communities in comprehensive cancer prevention. We collaborate to deliver educational programs on early detection and prevention, facilitate screening services to identify potential cases, and raise awareness about the importance of cancer care, fostering informed and proactive communities.
Mental Health Support:
Our mental health support program recognizes the emotional challenges patients and their family face during chemotherapy. We facilitate partnerships to provide a diverse compassionate space with access to counseling and support groups to promote holistic well-being.
By implementing these programs and initiatives, we aim to become a pillar in the community, known for providing excellent care and making a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families.
