Every year, more than 900 Rock County residents are diagnosed with cancer. Prior to RCCC’s inception, financial assistance was difficult if not impossible for patients to secure. While many funds focus on cancer research or medical services, the personal financial strain individuals and families battling cancer experience was not being adequately addressed.

Our purpose is to offer that much needed financial relief by providing grants of $1,400 to recipients currently undergoing cancer treatment. The grant funds may be used for rent/mortgage, utility, phone/internet, insurance, and car payments. Since 2010, RCCC has granted over $1.7 million in funding and grants, allowing us to help over 1,700 Rock County residents, with 100 percent of our funds staying in Rock County.
