Memorial Contributions

If you have lost a loved one from cancer, a wonderful way to honor their memory is to make a memorial contribution to Chemo Buddies.

As you know, enduring chemo is one of the toughest battles one can face. Your contribution enables us to come alongside those still in the fight and support them. 100% of your contributions will be used locally to support those still in the fight. We do not receive funding from the locations where we serve, but are a community led movement to help others going through the journey we have been through. All donations are tax deductible as we are a 501(c)3 charity.


If you are making funeral arrangements and wish to make Chemo Buddies your charity of choice, we are happy to provide all donors with personalized thank you notes and provide you with the information of all donations received. For more information, contact Jill Kincaid at info@mychemobuddies.com
