About the Organization
Kickin’ Cancer is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and a subsidiary of the Redwood Area Communities Foundation. Our mission is to provide assistance to cancer patients with funds raised and distributed locally throughout Redwood County.
Kickin’ Cancer has a volunteer board of directors and many volunteers. Being residents of Redwood County and knowing firsthand the difficulties that cancer can bring to your life, beyond the treatments, we raise money locally and spend it locally. Our organization provides assistance to cancer patients through Blessings Bags and the Financial Assistance Program. We want our neighbors to know that they are not alone in this fight.
