CCC creates a space of connection for cancer patients and survivors of all ages and their loved ones through free and low-cost community-based services in northern Nevada. Our programs are intended to improve quality of life, create personal connections, and empower the lives of our participants to reclaim joy and purpose at any stage of their cancer journey, and are not meant as a replacement for medical care. CCC provides programming focused on three key aspects of survivorship: social and emotional support, healthy living, and education. CCC fosters a culture of volunteerism and connection within the community. All funds raised will be used in northern Nevada to further the goals of the organization's 501(c)(3) tax-exempt purpose.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Natalie Stevenson is a co-founder of Cancer Community Clubhouse and a metastatic breast cancer survivor. With over 17 years of experience working with real estate investors and a leading financial security company as an investment & retirement specialist, Natalie has returned to her roots in human services. Natalie holds a bachelor's degree in human and family sciences, serves on the Nevada Cancer Coalition's Survivorship Task Force, is a Metavivor Peer-to-Peer program leader, is a 2022 Elevate Ambassador for the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, and a mentor angel with Imerman Angels. Originally diagnosed as a young, single mother, Natalie especially values and enjoys spending time with her son, practicing mindfulness techniques including meditation, yoga & QiGong, and she escapes to the natural retreats the region has to offer—especially Lake Tahoe! As a survivor, she is committed to helping others find a renewed sense of happiness despite going through cancer as a life event. Above all, she aims to create a space for connection so others do not have to go through the journey alone.
