There are no problems in life, only opportunities to grow

Strike  Out  Cancer  (SOC)  is  a  501c3  nonprofit  founded  in  2000  to  provide  patient  aid  to  individuals  living  with  cancer  and  their  families.  

We  started  SOC after  our  inspiration, Don  Rassiger,  was  diagnosed  with cancer.  Through  his  experience, we  saw the financial  and  emotional strains that treatment have  on  a  patient  and  their family.  Determined  to  be  of  service  to  others  fighting  this  disease,  Don,  his  family  and  friends  put  their  energy  into  raising  money  to  fund  patient  aid  for  those  in  need  of  a  helping  hand  when  they  are  most  vulnerable.  We  have  raised  money  primarily  through  events  at  baseball  games, one  of  Don’s  passions.    

The  impact  of  a  cancer  diagnosis  is  far  reaching  and  frequently  comes  with  financial  and  emotional  burdens.  No  one  should  fight  cancer  without  support  and  no  one  should  ever  have  to  choose between  care  and  living  expenses. 

Strike  Out  Cancer bridges  these  gaps  by  providing critical patient  aid that helps  to  remove  the  obstacles  to  receive  care  such  as  transportation  to  treatment or medication  not  covered  by  insurance. We  also  support small  moments  of  joy  such  as  tickets  to  a  ballgame  or  dinner  out  with  friends.  Since  its  inception,  SOC  has served  hundreds  of  people  fighting  cancer  and  their  families.
