Why Donate to Above + Beyond Cancer?

There’s Life
After Cancer

Many organizations fund prevention, detection, and treatment. We emphasize survivorship by helping participants regain confidence, physical strength, and emotional well-being after or during treatment.

Evidence-Based Programs

We promote physical activity as part of cancer survivorship and collaborate with researchers to study how exercise and outdoor experiences can affect health outcomes and quality of life.

Transformative Experiences

We are known for organizing challenging expeditions, like as mountain climbs, long-distance cycling, and more, that demonstrate what cancer survivors can achieve when they live above and beyond.

Community
Impact

Beyond our journeys, the organization offers weekly mind, body and spirit programming that encourage exercise, support, and connection for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and families.

Education +
Advocacy

We work to increase awareness of the benefits of physical activity during and after cancer treatment, helping shift conversations around survivorship. This is through community presentations, media and more.

Support a Unique Mission

As one of the only survivorship organizations in Iowa, donors can appreciate supporting an organization that fills a different need: helping people live above + beyond, even after a cancer diagnosis.

    Establish an Estate Gift

    Combining financial planning, estate planning, and tax planning techniques, planned giving may enable you to make a gift of surprising significance, often with dramatic tax and financial rewards.

    Planned gifts are usually deferred (gifts to be received at a later date) and can be excellent giving options for donors to leave their Above + Beyond Cancer legacy and help us to better deliver on our mission of elevating the mind, body and spirit of patients, survivors and caregivers throughout the cancer journey.
