In 2011, a group of doctors at Southeastern Medical Oncology Center grew tired of seeing their cancer patients struggling to make ends meet while they were undergoing treatment. So, the doctors decided to take action and launch a non-profit organization to help provide much-needed assistance to cancer patients in eastern North Carolina, and Southeastern Cancer Care Cures for the Colors was born.

​

Southeastern Cancer Care Cures for the Colors is 100% dedicated to helping Eastern North Carolina cancer patients and their families with financial assistance to help with life’s basic needs. We can help with food cards, utility bills, gas cards, and oncology-prescribed medication.

​

When we say 100% dedicated, we mean it literally. We spend every dime we collect on patients’ needs. We run 100% on volunteer contributions of time, money, and resources. With this all-in approach, we have made an important, positive difference in the lives of as many as 200+ cancer patients per year. And we look forward to growing our funding and maintaining our 100% commitment to helping cancer patients in need.

​

If you’re a cancer patient on treatment living in Eastern North Carolina in need of financial assistance, we encourage you to apply to our assistance program. We also welcome donations and volunteer help from friends, loved ones, concerned individuals, and groups or businesses who share our commitment to helping the people of Eastern North Carolina.
