About Us

At the Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation, our mission is to guide young adults (ages 18-40) through the challenges of a cancer diagnosis by connecting them to meaningful social support programs and services. We understand that healing goes beyond the physical battle, it's about finding strength in community and addressing the emotional and mental impact of cancer. Our goal is to meet young adults where they are in their experience, providing the support they need to navigate their unique path with confidence and hope. 

Central to our mission is Base2Summit, our premiere program designed to empower young adults through adventure-based experiences, fostering resilience, connection, and personal growth. This program is at the heart of what we do and where much of our fundraising efforts are focused, ensuring we can continue offering life-changing opportunities to those who need it most.
