Stronger. Together.
Our Mission
Space Coast Survivors is a dedicated
501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing essential social and financial support to individuals impacted by breast cancer in
Brevard County, FL.
Our goal is to raise awareness, secure
funding, and actively engage the
community through a variety of initiatives.
Community Impact
Dawn and Angie
2019
Space Coast Survivors began as a local social network in Brevard County, FL, in 2018 with a handful of young survivors who met in treatment. Since then, it has grown to support survivors of all ages and has impacted the lives of over one hundred people in all stages of survivorship.
We gather for crafts, community events, travel to breast cancer conferences, mud runs, lunches, fundraising in our own community, awareness events, walks, coffee dates with those who are newly diagnosed, and to help our members in any way we can (we did paint a house once!).

Why do we do what we do?
Studies show that young breast cancer patients and those of color or lower socioeconomic status have poorer treatment outcomes because of the difficult choice to either pay for cancer treatment or to provide basic living expenses.
Space Coast Survivors is trying to ease financial burdens
for anyone going through treatment.
Resources
Financial Aid
We offer financial assistance to individuals during active breast cancer treatment, providing support to help them navigate some of the economic challenges that may arise. Our aim is to enhance the quality of life for those in need.
Please email SpaceCoastSurvivors321@gmail.com
for an application.

Community Initiatives
We rely on the support of Brevard County (and beyond!) to help survivors in our community. People undergoing breast cancer treatment should not have to choose between medical care and whether they can put food on the table for themselves and their families.
Only because of the great outpouring of helpfrom our community are we able to help with co-pays, deductibles, utilities, childcare, and other basic living expenses.
