The Cancer for College Story Cancer for College (CFC) was founded in 1993 by Craig Pollard, a two-time cancer survivor. Craig fought back from Hodgkin's disease when he was just 15. He won his second battle at age 19, after a bone marrow transplant at the City of Hope Medical Center. "Knowing that I would ultimately return to college after my bone marrow transplant gave me the strength to keep fighting. It gave me a reason to live," said Pollard. To help provide others with this inspiration, he created Cancer for College. Learn More about Cancer for College |

Will Ferrell Leads the Charge as Cancer for College Raises $200K for Cancer Survivors The 16th Annual Cancer for College Golf Classic hosted by our good friend Will Ferrell raised over $200,000 for the scholarship fund. Nearly 250 golfers and 500 dinner guests came together to raise funds for cancer survivors. Attendees were treated to a great day of golf and entertainment while the scholarship recipients were treated to a few surprises of their own. Hewlett Packard provided lap top computers for the new scholarship recipients who were on hand for the event. |

A Great Night Filled with Hope, Inspiration and Triumph Sponsors such as Golf Magazine, Hewlett Packard, K-Swiss, 10 News, Monster Energy and a cavalcade of corporate captains worked together to help make a college education a reality for numerous survivors. A special live auction helped raise an additional $25,000 for five one-time scholarship recipients to assist them beyond this year! Scholarship recipients and their families were treated to a special meet-and-greet with our host Will Ferrell and the Pollard family |
