The Strike At Cancer Foundation has developed partnerships with other Chicago area not-for-profits that share in our mission of providing emotional support to cancer patients and their families.

	Gilda's Club/Chicago A cost-free meeting place where men, women and children living with cancer and their families and friends in the Chicagoland area join with others in building emotional and social support as a supplement to medical care. Strike at Cancer provides a "Healing Arts" program at Gilda's Club which includes Painting, and Music. gildasclubchicago.org Gilda's Club members paint regularly at Gilda's Club, guided by fine artist, Jordi Pedrola.
	TLC Camp (Togetherness Through Love and Caring), Lombard Week long Summer Day Camp for children living with cancer and their siblings. Strike at Cancer sponsors various activities and outings for TLC campers. tlccamp.org
	Children's Memorial Day Hospital Outpatient facility where children with cancer undergo chemotherapy and treatment. Strike at Cancer regularly fills the Children¹s Memorial Day Hospital Treasure Chest with toys, so children with cancer can choose a prize after a particularly difficult treatment. Our Healing Arts program also provides artists to work with cancer patients in the Day Hospital & Cancer Care Clinic. childrensmemorial.org Lucas (left) and Zacary Wesoloski help oncology nurse Bunny Konia fill the Treasure Chest in the Day Hospital at Children's Memorial Hospital. The Foundation regularly fills the chest, and children with cancer are allowed to choose a toy following a particularly difficult procedure.
	Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation A national organization whose mission is to eliminate pediatric cancer and to provide hope and support to those who are touched by it. The foundation's Small Miracle Program grants small, special requests to pediatric cancer patients to bring an element of joy to them and also to help ease the burdens of the families through assistance with some of the immediate needs that they may face while fighting this physically, emotionally, and financially devastating disease. Examples of small miracles include: family outings, event tickets, wigs, phone cards, housing and transportation expenses, special pick-me-up gifts, etc. The objective is to give children who suffer from pediatric cancer, who have the same wants and the same wishes as healthy children, a moment during their courageous battle when they can forget their illness and enjoy just being a child. Bear Necessities also provides funding for pediatric cancer research, as well as information and support services to families. bearnecessities.org

The Strike at Cancer Foundation continues to seek out community programs
in the Chicagoland area that fit our mission.
