Our Mission
About Ready To Give
Our organization is dedicated to promoting community education and awareness around the importance of regular health checkups and preventative measures for cancer.
​
We believe that by infusing entertainment and culture into our outreach efforts, we can make a greater impact and reach more people with our message.
Through our outreach we hope to provide annual scholarships to help support students who are pursuing technical, specialized or vocational degrees/certificates. We recognize that traditional college is not for everyone but it does not mean a person isn't deserving of financial support.
