The Giving Grid

Giving Grid: 100 Squares of Impact

Help us fill our Giving Grid—100 squares numbered 1 to 100, each representing a donation of that amount. When every square is filled, we’ll raise $5,050 to support free programs for anyone impacted by cancer.

This Giving Grid is a powerful reminder that no matter the size of a donation, we can make a collective impact. Whether you choose Square 1 or Square 100, every gift moves us closer to ensuring no one faces cancer alone.

Choose any open square, make your gift, and help us fill the grid with hope.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are a survivor, supporting a loved one, or have lost someone to cancer, we offer a welcoming community of care throughout every stage of the cancer journey. All services are offered at no cost, removing financial barriers to someone accessing support. Dollars raised through this program will ensure that no one has to face cancer alone.

Your support is needed now more than ever before.

Since relocating to hospital-based sites, with locations in Davenport and Moline, we’ve seen a remarkable 61% increase in program visits. 

Iowa continues to have the second-highest and fastest growing cancer incidence rate in the nation, and every statistic represents a real person—a friend, parent, or spouse—facing one of life’s toughest journeys. Because of donors like you, this year we’ve been able to:

• Offer over 1,700 free meals this year—on track to exceed 2,000.
• Serve 45% more individuals through the first half of the year than last year.
• Launch two new support groups—for patients with advanced cancer and parents caring for a child with cancer.
• Open a Wig Salon in Moline, restoring confidence for those in treatment.
• Introduce ten new healthy lifestyle programs, increasing visits by 10%.

These numbers highlight the growing need for cancer support services in our community, and we are dedicated to meeting that demand.
