In 1969, five women whose lives were all affected by cancer, founded Cancer League of Colorado.
From their individual struggles grew a joint commitment to raise money for cancer research and patient care within the state of Colorado. This all-volunteer charity organization became Cancer League of Colorado, Inc.  Since 1985, we have awarded over $5 million in research grants and service awards.

Unique to non-profits, Cancer League of Colorado has no paid staff and no offices.  All operating expenses are covered by membership dues and our volunteer staff.  Cancer League of Colorado now has over 400 volunteer members who share the commitment to fight cancer and support cancer research.

Did you know that each dollar donated to Cancer League research generates another $20 in funding?  more info
