UCF’s initiatives
Scholarships
Patient Navigation
Cancer to 5K
UCF House
Example of slide introduction/explanation: “UCF’s mission is to ‘change lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer.’ Here are some ways that UCF makes a difference in the lives of these young adults. The money fundraised by 4K participants supports these various initiatives and others supported by UCF.”
UCF Initiative Explanations (you do not have to explain all of these in depth, but I provided the info below for your reference):
Scholarships - UCF has a national scholarship program, where we award college scholarships to young adults impacted by cancer. 4K participants review their applications, and they get to present a scholarship or two to a recipient on their trip. (Include your personal experience)
Patient Navigation - Patient Navigators are similar to social workers within the hospital setting - they are there to help cancer patients through treatment
Cancer to 5K - A 12-week training program for cancer survivors. Cancer survivors train with a group of other survivors and alongside a volunteer sherpa. They train for a goal race that the group runs together in. A way for them to take their body back after their cancer diagnoss.
UCF House - Similar to a Ronald McDonald house or Hope Lodge, the UCF House will house young adult cancer patients that are coming to Baltimore from afar for treatment. The house will have around 8 individual family suites, therapy rooms, kitchen (with volunteers that will sign up to cook lunch, dinner, etc., a patio, and more)
Continue by explaining the connection of the 4K to UCF - describe how on the 4K journey you will distribute scholarships and chemo care bags, meet patients, and tour cancer centers. Explain the Bone Marrow Drive you held prior to your 4K trip. Refer to our website for more detail on services of UCF (
