Our Mission

Rutledge Cancer Foundation works to ease the impact of cancer on the lives of teens and young adults, raise survival rates and find a cure for sarcomas and other solid tumor cancers.

Your support of the Hearts of Gold Gala will make a real difference in the lives of teens and young adults with cancer!

Why Your Support Matters:

  • Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death in young adults age 15 to 39, increasing over 50% in the last 30 years.
  • Approximately 89,500 young adults are diagnosed with cancer every year in the U.S.
  • Young adults are 8 times more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than children under 15.
  • Young adults are the most underinsured or uninsured group in the U.S.

Since 2011, Rutledge Cancer Foundation Has:

  • Eased Cancer’s Impact by funding over $850,000 for innovative AYA Cancer Patient Programs (Carley’s Closet, Fertility Preservation and FitSteps), Patient Events and serving over 12,000 young cancer patients and their family members.
  • Raised Survival Rates by hosting 50 AYA Cancer Awareness events with over 11,000 attendees. Through social media, RCF reaches an average of 28,000 people annually.
  • Funded $1,300,000 for a Cure, supporting 9 research projects and 6 clinical trials for less toxic, more curative cancer therapies.
