Our goal is to help these survivors and their families establish a “Will Win” attitude in their fight.

Furthermore, the Foundation promotes awareness and prevention of cancer within the young adult community.

15-40 Connection
15-40 Connection is an emerging national organization committed to raising awareness about the life-saving advantage of early cancer detection. We empower individuals to take personal responsibility for their health, check themselves for cancer, and take assertive action in response to persistent health changes. We strive to improve cancer survival rates for this overlooked population by providing educational resources, tools, and programming.
15-40 Connection is a great resource pushing for early diagnosis in the 15-40 age range through education and awareness. This age range is most susceptible to thinking their symptoms aren’t that serious, and when they finally get checked out their cancer has progressed to a more advanced stage.
