Park County Cancer Alliance

Park County Cancer Alliance offers financial, emotional, and physical support to people in our local community affected by cancer. This includes everyone from the moment of their diagnosis to years after treatment is complete. We encourage caregivers and families of those with cancer to be a part of our healing programs of Mindful Yoga and an Emotional Support Group. PCCA believes a caring cancer support community improves overall wellness. PCCA is dedicated to shifting the cancer journey from one marked by isolation and fear to a holistic, life-affirming process rooted in support, community, resilience, and hope.

Park County Cancer Alliance (PCCA) is entering its 7th year of existence. In January of 2023, PCCA successfully completed gaining our independent 501C3 status. We were formally fiscally sponsored by the Park County Community Foundation.

We now operate independently to support local rural residents diagnosed with cancer. A cancer diagnosis can cause stress physically, mentally, and financially. Our goals include raising funds to assist with the unmet needs of our cancer community by offering financial, physical, and emotional support. Financial support can range from a gas card that helps someone get to their Chemotherapy or Radiation treatments to providing financial support through monetary grants/gifts currently up to $2500. To date, PCCA has gifted $102,906 in financial grants to our local cancer residents to help ease the burden and stress caused by loss of income and added expenses. PCCA reaches out to residents of Park and Meagher. We provide free weekly Mindful Yoga for Cancer classes. Currently, yoga classes are on Thursdays at 9 AM at the Movement Collaborative. We also offer a Support Group every other week led by Kris Loomis, MSW located at the Delmar.

Testimonials

"What a good day it was when I found out about this yoga class. I so appreciate that it is free to me as I always have medical bills requiring payment. Bodily, I am moving more freely standing straighter and breathing better. Please keep doing this wonderful class. Thank you."

"Thank you so very much for your financial gift to assist me with the wave of expenses that come with a cancer battle! As a retiree with little income and no medical insurance other than Medicare, you have eased that concern and encouraged my wife and I." DB

"Every Thursday morning I go to yoga class. At the end of the hour I am a different person and ready for a new week. I love this class! Thank you!" Tom
