Make a Difference

Taking Steps for Cancer is a fundraising organization in partnership with Mountain Family Center to support Grand County cancer patients with their out of pocket expenses. 

Please donate today to support our mission. Your contribution is crucial and greatly appreciated.

Giving Impact

Grand County cancer patients incur burdensome medical expenses and often lose income due to missed work. They travel long distances for screening and treatments with specialists.

Each year, Taking Steps for Cancer raises over $225,000 in donations to cover some of these families’ expenses. When you support Taking Steps for Cancer, you are helping cover expenses like gas, hotels, groceries, childcare, screening and more.

In Grand County, community spirit is alive and residents care about those in need. The team at Taking Steps for Cancer sincerely appreciates your support!

Mountain Family Center is a qualified 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization [Tax ID# 74-2446390] operating the Taking Steps for Cancer Fund with administrative offices located at 480 E. Agate Avenue, Suite 1C, Granby, CO 80446 . Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Please consult your tax advisor regarding specific questions about your deductions.

The Taking Steps for Cancer Fund

The Taking Steps for Cancer Fund, operated by Mountain Family Center, exists to ease the financial burden of treatment for Grand County residents battling cancer. There is no cancer treatment available in Grand county and patients must often travel long distances, up to several times per week, for medical care. Gas, lodging, meals and other expenses can add up, and the Cancer Fund is available to help cover these expenses.

Assistance is available regardless of income or insurance status, and each client can receive up to $5,000 per year in reimbursement.

To find out more about the assistance offered through the Cancer Fund, please call 970-557-3186, email katie@mountainfamilycenter.org, or submit an online request (below).

The Cancer Fund is made possible by the hard work of the volunteer group Taking Steps for Cancer (“Taking Steps”). Taking Steps organizes several annual events to create awareness and support.
