Strategic Organizational Priorities (Why we fundraise!)
1) Obtain a space for a community-based survivorship center. CCC will create a confidential and homelike cancer community center where any survivor or loved one can come for ongoing and accessible support. This will allow our cancer community to have its own, private space to hold current programs and to expand programs, giving survivors easier access to support when they need it most.
2) Hire a full-time Director. With a full-time Director, CCC will be able to increase capacity of survivors served, and extend our programs to fit each cohort more directly (caregivers, family members, mental health, specific cancers, etc.)
3) Increase reach. CCC is a young organization and not all survivors know that this incredible resource exists in our community. We will continue outreach at cancer centers, community functions, and through specific survivor outreach channels.

CCC Program Descriptions
Art & Creativity - Join us each month at Arts for All Nevada (Lake Mansion, 250 Court St, Reno) to bring out your creative side while exploring various art techniques aimed at increasing self-awareness, processing emotion, and decreasing stress and anxiety. Each session will feature a new art or craft project & is a great time to make connections within our cancer community while working with art and creativity for stress reduction. Check the calendar to see what creative project will be featured. All supplies provided.
Coffee Connection - Join us in person to relax with a cup of Joe and connect with other CCC members to support and be supported in our shared cancer experiences. This group is facilitated by a professional counselor. Community connection can ease the burden of cancer and improve quality of life during and after cancer treatment, adding the coffee is just icing on the cake! We'll meet at The Center Studio, 55 Foothill Rd, Reno, in the South Creek Shopping Center.
Wellness & Coffee Connection - This group will begin with a 30-min yoga flow and meditation facilitated by fellow survivor Tiffany Johnson, followed by a coffee group discussion about wellness in survivorship (or any other topic participants would like to discuss with the group). Dress comfortably. All supplies provided.
YA Connection - This is a special connection group reserved for our YA (young adult) survivors aged18-40, including those diagnosed as a young adult. We know that our YA survivors have unique needs in survivorship and many have asked for their own group, so here it is! Join us in person to relax with a warm beverage and connect with other YA survivors to support and be supported in our shared cancer experiences. Community connection can ease the burden of cancer and improve quality of life during and after cancer treatment. We'll meet at The Center Studio, 55 Foothill Rd, Reno, in the South Creek Shopping Center.
Metastatic Peer-to-Peer Group - Are you living with metastatic (stage 4) cancer? This group is just for you! We are so excited to announce the start of a very important and meaningful group for our participants living with metastatic (stage four) cancer of any type. The Metastatic Peer-to-Peer group will now be offered twice a month in person! This group allows for a space to be supported and offer support to our peers along our unique walks with metastatic disease.
Sound Bath By Wyatt - Join us to experience ultimate relaxation with a restorative sound bath by Wyatt. During a live sound bath, participants relax to the balancing vibrations of gongs and quartz crystal bowls. The benefits of participating in a sound bath for a cancer survivor may include reduced anxiety, an opportunity to process unresolved emotions, release of tension in the body, and gaining focus and clarity. All supplies are provided (yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, chairs). Sound Bath By Wyatt will be held at The Center Studio located at 55 Foothill Rd, Reno, in the South Creek Shopping Center next to Healthy Tails.
Yoga for Every Body - CCC is so excited to partner with Nevada Urban Indians, a local community health nonprofit organization, to offer a free, weekly, in-person yoga class to CCC participants. Instructor Cynthia Roy is excellent at helping participants work around their own physical limitations, you are even welcome to grab a chair. This class is appropriate for all levels. NUI is offering this class to CCC participants for FREE! As NUI will be running this program, rather than CCC, please contact Alisa to RSVP: abean@nvui.org or 775-788-7600. Drop-ins are also welcome, just let them know you are a CCC participant! We are so grateful to NUI for offering this class to our cancer community.
Lunch and Learn - Join us for a community lunch and learn where we will hear from various professionals and discuss a survivorship-related topic over lunch. Staying informed on various survivorship topics empowers survivors to cope through their experiences lessening the burden of cancer. Check the calendar for location and topic.
