About Cancer League of Colorado
Founded in 1969, Cancer League of Colorado is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises funds to support cancer research, clinical trials, and patient services across Colorado.
The organization operates without paid staff or offices so that donations and event proceeds are directed to research and service grants; since its founding it has awarded more than $26 million to research and patient care.
Cancer League partners with Colorado research and clinical institutions (including the University of Colorado Cancer Center and other statewide centers) and runs year-round fundraising through signature events and member support.
