The Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation (CHSCF) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Royal Oak, MI. Their mission is to support young adults aged 16-39 during their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and beyond through various advocacy and programming initiatives. CHSCF offers survivorship programs, including adventure-based experiences, conferences, and retreats, as well as travel assistance scholarships to help young adults navigate the challenges of cancer. They also provide resources such as information bags, financial, legal, and healthcare help, and wish granting opportunities. The foundation was inspired by Cassie Hines, who loved shoes and used them as a form of retail therapy during her own cancer treatment. Her passion for shoes is reflected in the foundation's logo, which features a tile she painted at Camp Mak-A-Dream.
The foundation's survivorship programs aim to empower young adults to live life to the fullest, even after hearing the words "You have cancer." Through their advocacy and support, CHSCF encourages young adults to take risks and embark on adventure-based experiences that promote personal growth and healing. They also organize annual events like the Gala and Glow Run to raise funds and awareness for their cause. With a dedicated team of board members and staff, CHSCF strives to guide and support young adults throughout their cancer journey, providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
