Every October, communities across the country wear pink to support breast cancer awareness. But at Anchor Cross Cancer Foundation, we believe this month is also about action.
Behind the pink ribbons are real people—women and men in Lower Alabama—facing not just a health crisis, but a financial one too.
Cancer treatment is expensive. And while the diagnosis brings fear, the bills often bring just as much stress.
What Breast Cancer Patients Face Financially
Breast cancer treatment often requires:
- Regular imaging and testing
- Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation
- Prescription medications
- Long-distance travel to specialists
- Missed work or job loss
Studies show that many patients delay or skip some part of their care due to cost. At Anchor Cross Cancer Foundation, we believe no one should have to choose between groceries and treatment.
How Anchor Cross Cancer Foundation Helps Breast Cancer Patients
We provide direct financial relief to cancer patients in lower Alabama. That means your donation helps cover:
- Utility bills
- Transportation to treatment
- Medical copays and prescriptions
- Groceries and household essentials
Your support helps ensure patients can continue their care with dignity, without the crushing burden of unpaid bills.
Why Local Giving Matters
When you donate to Anchor Cross Cancer Foundation, 100% of your gift stays local. That means you’re not just giving to a cause, you’re giving to a neighbor, coworker or friend who is fighting cancer in your own community.

Support That Lasts All Year
While October is a powerful time to raise awareness for breast cancer, the reality is that cancer doesn’t end when the month is over and neither should support.
Anchor Cross Anchor Foundation provides year-round assistance to patients of all cancer types, and we rely on the generosity of donors like you to continue this work every single day.
Whether it’s a one-time donation or a monthly gift, your support makes a lasting difference.

Give hope. Give relief. Give local.
