Help save a life. I just did.

Join Us in Honoring Kathleen Rose Kelley Young by Donating to Fund Colon Cancer Research

Donate Today.

Kathleen Rose Kelley Young was a beloved member of the community in Alexander Valley, Calif., and her death of colorectal cancer on January 3, 2021, will leave an unmistakable void in the lives of everyone she knew and loved. She was also an unbelievable fighter, long outlasting all medical expectations from the time of her diagnosis in 2016. During her fight, she became a diligent researcher into her disease, strong proponent for cancer education, and vocal advocate for a healthy lifestyle.

In order to help honor Kathleen’s memory and her incredible life, her family created the Kathleen Rose Fund in partnership with the American Cancer Society. Your tax-deductible donation to the Kathleen Rose Fund will directly support lifesaving colon cancer research, education, and care. Your contribution means so much to Kathleen’s family and to those fighting colon cancer with all the vigor with which Kathleen also fought so bravely.

Please donate today to help honor the memory of Kathleen Rose Kelley Young.

Donation FAQS

How is my donation used?

The American Cancer Society makes significant investments in cancer research, advocacy, and patient support, including information and education on prevention and early detection as well as treatment options. A smaller portion of our resources are used to fund our management and general expenses, as well as fundraising expenses.

Are donations made to the American Cancer Society tax deductible?

Yes, monetary donations to our organization are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. However, certain donations in which the donor receives a good or service in return for a donation are not tax deductible or may be only partially deductible. This would apply to American Cancer Society initiatives such as the Cars For a Cure program, Golf Pass programs, and Discovery Shop purchases. Donors should consult with their tax advisors if they have questions about their deductions.
