Established:
2000
Mission:
Heroes Foundation’s mission is to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention, and resources to advance research for a cure.
Serving Our Community:
The Heroes Foundation is a grant-making, public nonprofit that raises money throughout the year and gifts it to support various programs and organizations in Indiana.
Support
Being able to find and take advantage of support services fast is absolutely critical. Where families are overburdened, the Heroes Foundation relieves some of the stress put on those affected by cancer.
Prevention
Between a third and a half of cancers can be prevented with awareness of the medical community’s current knowledge of risk factors. Prevention is cost-effective, its effects aren’t limited to high-risk subjects but extend to the entire population, and it is not dependent on socioeconomic status.
Research
The overall cancer death rate continues to decline year after year. The Heroes Foundation focuses its research funding on promising academic and clinical projects throughout Indiana.
