About Montgomery County Cancer Association

Montgomery County Cancer Association (MCCA) brings together neighbors, volunteers, and local businesses to support a shared mission: raising funds for cancer research while promoting education and providing limited assistance to people affected by cancer.
 

Our primary goal is to support continued research into all types of cancer. Through year-round fundraising, we raise funds for approved nonprofit cancer research centers and create opportunities for Montgomery County, Illinois, residents to make a difference.
 

Our goals

  • Support cancer research through year-round fundraising.

  • Promote education about cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship.

  • Provide limited support to cancer patients.

  • Encourage community involvement and volunteer service.
     

A community that comes together

Our fundraising teams invite friends, neighbors, and local businesses to contribute to MCCA throughout the year. Together, these efforts support our mission, with recognition given to the team that raises the most donations.
 

Our annual Celebration of Life honors cancer survivors in our county and remembers those who have died from cancer. It is a time to reflect, connect, and recognize the people at the heart of our work.
 

Be part of our mission

Understanding cancer helps us better support those affected by it. Whether you give, volunteer, or participate in an event, you can help build a more informed and supportive community.
 

Contact an MCCA officer or board member to learn how you can get involved.

Our Community Story

In January 2005, a group of Montgomery County citizens met and discussed how they could help cancer patients and others in Montgomery County. This group of volunteers decided to form a Not-For-Profit organization called “Montgomery County Cancer Association” (MCCA). Today, MCCA is a state & federal (501C3) Not-For-Profit organization.
