About Cheeky Champions

Not Just a Non-Profit

We are every family, parent, child, partner, sibling, friend, that has watched a loved one get diagnosed with colon cancer. Cheeky Champions is a modern day fundraiser created by Zennials seeking to make the most impact in the most profound way.

Our Mission

Cheeky Champions exists to support colorectal cancer patients, survivors, and their families through:

• Treatment Transparency: Our "Find Your Options" platform ensures patients know about ALL available treatments at nearby hospitals
• Community Building: Creating spaces where patients and families can connect, share stories, and support each other
• Awareness & Education: Using modern, engaging content to educate people about colorectal cancer prevention and treatment
• Fundraising Innovation: Going beyond the traditional 5K with creative events and merch that people actually want to wear

Why "Find Your Options" Matters

This treatment finder was born from personal experience. When faced with a "no more options" diagnosis, one of our founder's families discovered there WERE more options - including treatments available at the original hospital that were never mentioned.

They had to travel out of state to access a treatment that was offered just miles from home. This gap in information - this preventable stress, time, and expense - should never happen to anyone.

No family should have to learn about available treatments by accident. This tool ensures transparency and empowers patients to advocate for themselves.

The Peach 🍑

Why a peach? Because we're fighting colon cancer - the "cheeky" cancer - and we believe in approaching serious topics with a touch of humor and humanity. The peach emoji is playful, memorable, and starts conversations. It's also a symbol of hope, sweetness, and resilience.

When you see the 🍑, you know you're part of a community that doesn't take itself too seriously but takes the fight VERY seriously.

Our Values

Transparency

Medical information should be accessible, clear, and complete. Patients deserve to know all their options.

Community

No one fights cancer alone. We're building a network of support, understanding, and shared strength.

Innovation

From modern merch to digital tools, we're reimagining what cancer advocacy looks like for a new generation.

Hope with Humor

Cancer is serious, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh, celebrate life, and find joy in the journey.
