Dyin 2 Live Dreams
A wish-granting program committed to helping those who are currently in the fight against cancer by giving them a one-of-a-kind “VIP Experience” that may be a source of hope, joy, and inspiration while they continue in their fight against these terrible diseases.
Fuck Cancer Awareness Tour
We travel across the United States, partnering with the biggest music festivals in the nation, waving the Fxck Cancer flag and shouting Fuck Cancer at the top of our lungs! We put ourselves in front of close to 1 million people every year by activating our Fuck Cancer Awareness Booth at these music festivals across the country. Our primary focus being cancer awareness, education about prevention & detection, community support, fundraising, and executing our Dyin 2 Live Dreams program.
But we aren’t done yet. At every stop of our Fuck Cancer Awareness Tour, 100% of the proceeds from our fundraising efforts are given back to the local community in the form of a donation to the local cancer treatment centers in the area.
Together we fight.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our mission is to fight cancer by raising awareness and to educate about prevention and early cancer detection. Our goal is to ultimately put an end to late stage cancer diagnosis. Through our Dyin 2 Live Dreams program, we look to enrich the lives of those fighting cancer by offering them special VIP experiences that will bring them hope, inspiration, and courage.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
