Our Vision
As students in the 26th leadership class of Next Level Trainings, our transformational curriculum culminates in creating a large-scale community service project for a local non-profit. We have chosen to support Cancer Option Collaborative, a non-faith-based programmatic arm of Christians Overcoming Cancer. Our team is committed to raising $80,000 as well as providing meaningful office facilities improvement within the span of just 22 days!
Our team chose to support The Cancer Option Collaborative (COC) because of it’s mission to identify and connect cancer patients with support services, while offering financial assistance when no supporting resource exists. The Cancer Option Collaborative handles the stress of non-medical living expenses while the patient focuses on their cancer fight.
Together, VIP26 and COC committed to expand the number of cancer patients this will benefit from this financial and emotional support on their road to recovery.

VIP 26 Columbus proudly supports the cancer option collaborative
Nearly 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer during our lifetime. While patients have lots of support options for medical services, there is little help to ensure a stable living environment while battling cancer. Cancer Option Collaborative is supporting cancer patients on their road to recovery by connecting them with non-medical services, creating a space for emotional support, and providing financial relief.
