All proceeds will go towards helping patients in need of financial help.

“And unfortunately, we’re all close to someone that has cancer. Whether it’s individually or in our family,” said Wyatt Sheeder, Wichita Cancer Foundation executive director. “So, we’re using our funds to help people that have financial difficulty paying for their insurance premiums so they don’t lose access to their insurance when they need it most.”

In 2023, the foundation was able to help over 100 Kansas families by providing $330,000 for their care.
