Mission

Yay 4 Life! is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 2012 to provide cancer patients and their families with assistance for expenses such as parking, meals, travel costs and other costs incurred while patients are receiving medical care either as an inpatient or outpatient. Yay 4 Life! also provides scholarships and other educational support at Friendswood Independent School District.

We know from experience that cancer patients are stronger in their fight, cope with treatments better, and recover faster when they have family, friends and others in their support system around them. We also know that people want to help when someone is going through a difficult time. Cancer creates significant financial burden even with insurance.

There are a lot funds raised and donated for cancer research which will help patients of the future. We wanted to help current patients have the support they need to gain strength, create memories and…Live LIFE!!
