In 2011, we started a nonprofit to simply brighten the day of people who are facing cancer. We didn’t know how far the impact would go or how many lives would be touched. We just wanted to help cancer patients feel a little less alone and to give them a moment away from the worry cancer brings.

In the 15 years that followed, our reach expanded more than we could have ever envisioned. We have sent gift cards to thousands of patients all over the country – even a few internationally.

After much thought, we have decided it is time to wrap up our work through The Cancer Card Xchange. Fifteen years is a meaningful accomplishment and we owe our generous donors and supporters a great debt of gratitude. Without them, none of our charitable work would have been possible. And to each and every cancer patient and their families, whose lives we were able to impact, we hope that our efforts were a bright spot along the way.

Please keep watching our social media accounts for a final total of how many patients we reached and total dollar amount of gift cards we distributed.

We know the ripple effect of generosity and support we have experienced over the last 15 years will continue to brighten the day of people facing cancer going forward.

Overwhelmed with gratitude,

 – Emily Tickle Thomas, Founder and Executive Director
