Cancer Pathways

This May, Cancer Pathways hopes to raise $25,000 in critical funds for our six FREE week-long Camp Sparkle summer camps. And, for GiveBIG today and tomorrow, we have a $5000 match to help get us there!

Make a gift and your gift for Camp Sparkle will have TWICE the IMPACT!  

Camp Sparkle is a camp for kids in Washington state impacted by a cancer diagnosis - their own or a loved one. Through fun field trips, therapeutic arts activities, conversations, and community, Camp Sparkle allows kids experiencing the effects of cancer in their lives to make meaningful connections and build tools of resilience for the future.  

Cancer Pathways' mission is to provide pathways of support, education, and community to anyone facing cancer – whether it’s before, during, or after a cancer experience.

We provide spaces of community, hope, and resilience for those facing cancer. Anyone impacted by cancer – including patients, caregivers, loved ones, family members, and friends – are welcome to join our programs and services, free of charge.  We offer support groups & emotional support, youth & family programs, cancer risk-reduction education, a teen essay writing contest, a podcast, tobacco cessation & support, wellness & community offerings.  

Donate today and make a difference for a family impacted by cancer.
