The "Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys" is the official charity of KEYS100. Since 1998, this Key West-based local charity has been providing support to patients and their families from Key Largo to Key West with financial assistance, emotional support, educational materials, cancer screenings, information and referral services for prostate, breast, colon and other forms of cancer. “Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys, Inc.” has an ongoing program of educational outreach, free screenings and post-screening support to discover these cancers early and improve the treatment outcome as well as overall quality of life for those found with these diseases. For prostate cancer, for example, too many men throughout the Keys have been diagnosed late, at a more advanced stage when a cure is more difficult.
Helping residents of the Florida Keys in their quest to learn ways to treat and pay for this dreaded and expensive disease has become the rallying cry of the Foundation. All of the funds raised by the Cancer Foundation are used to assist cancer patients in the Florida Keys community.
