The EACF is community based and locally supported. We are 100% volunteer driven and we are passionate about our goals.
Our Mission
To bring members of our community together in an united effort, by providing for expenses for travel and lodging to cancer treatments, providing that transportation, when needed, and general support of cancer warriors.
To offer hope and support for those whose lives have been touched by cancer.
Community Involvement Equals Foundation Success
Our Goals
