Cancer sucks, 8 charities to make a difference

614now Staff

Whether it’s a mother, grandfather, sister, coworker, or acquaintance, most, if not all, of us have known someone with cancer. It’s a helpless feeling to watch someone you love suffer from the brutality of the disease. While nothing within your power can totally take away the pain and sorrow, there are ways to help.

Check out these charities—some local, some national—that are working every day to end cancer for good.

American Pie Party

The American Pie Party raises philanthropic support for cancer agencies by orchestrating an “environment of healing” through quintessential humor and the actual physical act of throwing a pie in the face of a willing participant. Anyone, anytime, anywhere can host their own replicable Satellite Pie Party with funds benefiting their chosen anti-cancer charity, allowing cancer survivors the right to throw the pies.
