Mission Statement

Cancer Response Team, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children get supportive cancer care. We do so by providing their families with financial assistance for integrative and complementary cancer therapies from time of diagnosis up to six months post treatment.

Description

We exist to support families who choose to pursue a truly integrative approach to cancer treatment - one that combines the best that conventional medicine and natural medicine have to offer. An evidence-based integrative approach to cancer has the potential to reduce side effects and improve effectiveness; ultimately improving both quality of life and prognosis. Unfortunately, some complementary therapies and treatments are not covered by traditional insurance policies.

Cancer Response Team benefits children who have been diagnosed with cancer and are in need of financial support associated with their treatment plans, such as (but not limited to): naturopathic visits, supplements, IV-nutrition, oncology massage, child life services, chiropractic care, nutritional counseling and travel expenses.

We originated in Arizona but have expanded our support offering nationally as of 2020.
