Mission
The mission of The David Benzer Strike Out Fear Foundation is to "Build a bridge from fear to hope" for people diagnosed with cancer. By creating comforting, life-affirming environments in cancer clinics across the country, the Foundation's Immediate Impact Program supports the emotional and spiritual needs of patients — to reduce fear and sustain the spirit from the moment of diagnosis, during treatment and into survivorship.
Since 2011, the Foundation has provided amenities for cancer clinic waiting rooms and treatment facilities that have enhanced the therapeutic experience for more than 60,000 new cancer patients and 430,000 patient visits.
In addition, we provide resources that
-Help reduce anxiety and nurture hope
-Coach family and friends on how best to provide comfort and support
-Empower people with information on current treatment guidelines, complementary medicine, and supportive care
