What Your Money Helps Support

"Screw Cancer Eat Cake" hopes to be more than just a catch phrase and a cute logo. While we get such a thrill seeing someone's face light up at our merchandise, the biggest thrill is knowing what we're able to support with a portion of each purchase. The charities we've chosen to highlight provide very real support and funds that directly improve the quality of life to those who need it most.

The RET Foundation in Atlanta: Providing financial aid to pediatric cancer patients and their families, to help unburden them from the financial strain that comes hand-in-hand with a cancer diagnosis. Whether the assistance is used to chip away at piles of medical bills or for a trip away to reconnect as a family, that is entirely up to the families themselves.

The Simstein Fund at Winston-Salem's Forsyth Medical Center: Dedicated to helping cancer patients who cannot afford the personal costs related to cancer treatment: medication, transportation to appointments, lodging during treatments and more. 100% of funds raised go directly to patients and their individual needs.

Thanks to these charities and the work they do, and thanks to you, this wonderful community who help support them.
