__What our Charity Does:__ Each Super Center (Walmart, Target) will adopt a cancer patient (can be any age and any type of cancer) and will put a picture of the patient in there store window. Once they advertise the patient the goal is that customers will donate money to help pay for the patients cancer treatments since they know that there money is directly helping a certain individual. We also help that the Super Center will give some of there proceeds they make to help there special individual that is battling a deadly disease.

__Why the Charity is Needed:__ This charity is needed because so many individuals are diagnosed with this deadly disease and unfortunately many die from it. If we can even help save one more life a year by Super Centers helping us out then we feel we have accomplished something because every life matters. Maybe this will help put in perspective how deadly cancer is with these numbers we found from 2009 of people with cancer. Diagnosed with Cancer: Over 21 million people Survived from Cancer: 9.8 million Died from Cancer: 10.2 million

__Where we are Involved:__ As a charity we are involved in Super Centers across the United States of America. We decided that Super Centers would be a good fit for people to donate to a cancer patient because many people go to them at some point since you can purchase a variety of things there. Super Centers also are normally huge corporations with many stores located across the country allowing them to make huge proceeds annually. We found the amount of proceeds both Walmart and Target both made in 2009. Walmart: Over $244 billion Target: Over $3 billion

__Who we Help:__ This charity will help any person that is battling cancer and cannot afford the cost of there treatments. The age of the patient and the type of treatment they need based on the type of cancer they were diagnosed with does not matter.

__Why we Do This:__ We established this charity because we would hate to see anyone die from this disease; if they did not get the proper treatment to have the chance to beat the disease since they could not afford the cost of the treatments. Many people need multiple treatments to try and beat there specific type of cancer. Below are the prices of one single treatment for certain types of cancer. Cost of Breast Cancer Treatment: $175,000 Cost of Leukemia Cancer Treatment: $250,000 Chemotherapy: $150,000 Radiation: $100,000
