Our Story

Cards Against Cancer is a youth-led nonprofit organization created by Keerthi Nelluri, a junior at Durham Academy, and Maya Doraiswamy, a junior at Tower Hill School. Having known many who battled cancer and knowing that millions of people around the world struggle every day with cancer, our mission is to support patients through their struggle with handwritten cards and gift baskets to brighten their day and bring a smile to their face. Donate on this website today! Although we are a cancer nonprofit, our mission stretches beyond simply supporting cancer patients. Our ultimate goal is to raise awareness about the overlooked humanitarian aspects of healthcare that matter so much.

Future Goals

Cards Against Cancer already has 6 donation partnerships, and we have raised over $2700 to support cancer patients with gift baskets and care kits. In the future, we hope to expand our small team with volunteers, host more card/basket/care kit making workshops, and raise more money to continue supporting patients. Our goals for the near future include a care kit donation to the SECU Caring House and continuing to run tennis clinics to raise money.
