About Sprout Love 

The Sprout Love Initiative at the Cancer Support Community raises funds for a Financial Assistance Fund that covers the basic living expenses for individuals experiencing financial hardship due to cancer and its treatment.

The Duke Cancer Institute found that 42% of participants reported a significant or catastrophic financial burden due to their cancer.
- 68% cut back on leisure activities
- 46% reduced spending on food and clothing
- 46% used savings to defray out-of-pocket expenses
- To save money, 20% took less than the prescribed amount of medication, 19% partially filled prescriptions, and 24% avoided filling prescriptions altogether

The Sprout Love Financial Assistance Fund launched in 2019; the fund has granted $250,000 to over 100 families experiencing financial hardship due to cancer and its treatment, including:

• $117,600 toward rent and mortgage
• $43,100 toward car payments and insurance
• $38,300 toward utilities
• $13,700 toward phone and internet
• $14,700 toward groceries and gasoline
• $22,200 toward other necessities, including home and auto repairs, childcare, and more

100% of contributions to the Sprout Love Spring Fling Move-A-Thon will go to the Sprout Love Financial Assistance Fund to directly address significant financial hardship by providing a bridge for families undergoing cancer treatment.
