Empowering people impacted by cancer to reclaim their stories through life-changing personal growth, leadership, and volunteer experiences.

Thank you so much to Lilly & our donor community for giving us the ability to continue our Elevate experience in 2025. This year, 21 Elevate Fellows collaborated virtually for 6 months to support Mizizi’s expansion. We look forward to sharing more details about this program soon!

[A Fresh Chapter @afreshchapter]

Next year, our goal is to host 10 Mizizi workshops & reach at least 1,000 people in sub-Sarahan Africa through Mizizi.
Thanks to the generosity of our donor community, 4 Mizizi workshops are already funded for 2026. Your gift could help us bring a 5th: https://t.co/bswUc5MWel

For as little as $25/month, you can help someone impacted by cancer feel understood, supported, and less alone.

We’re just $350 away from funding a 3rd Mizizi workshop in 2026.
Every gift helps bring emotional healing, skills, and community to people facing cancer in Kenya—and soon, South Africa.

In honor of #EmotionalIntelligenceAwarenessMonth, we’re spotlighting curiosity—a tool that helps us pause, reflect, and explore the emotions beneath our reactions. Take a moment each day to check in with yourself and stay open to what you’re feeling.

There’s something special about bringing our community together. While our team was in IN for a week of AFC events, we had the joy of connecting with our amazing local alumni for an evening of laughter, great food, & connection.

TY to David & Mary for opening your home & hearts!

Sept. 1st is #worldletterwritingday — the perfect reason to pause, put pen to paper, & connect with someone in a meaningful way. Whether it’s a fellow AFC community member or someone you haven’t spoken to in a while, a handwritten note can leave a lasting impression.

Two truths can exist at once. At AFC, we call this Living in Contradiction—a tool from our Ignite Experience to help navigate grief without ignoring it. Hope and heartache can coexist. Learn more: https://t.co/qgCGFEvrUA

Grief can come after a diagnosis, loss of identity, or losing a loved one. Your experience is valid & there’s no one way to grieve. @MayoClinic defines grief as loss beyond death & can be ambiguous when someone/something is still present but different. #NationalGriefAwarenessDay

For #NationalNonProfitDay, we’re highlighting what makes AFC unique: our innovative model of healing education, empowerment, & belonging. AFC helps patients, survivors, & caregivers reclaim what’s next. Learn more: https://t.co/vjjykiBrtH
