What is Circle of Care?
Circle of Care is a Wilton-based nonprofit organization that supports families in Connecticut, Westchester County, and Southwestern Massachusetts who have heard the words “Your child has cancer.”

Our programs and services exist to support these families from the day of diagnosis, throughout their treatment, and beyond – wherever their journey leads. For the past 23 years, we’ve expanded and perfected our programs to comprehensively support families every step of the way.

How does my participation help?
Your participation is a major show of support for the families in our Circle. Whether you are walking or running, you are showing families of children with cancer that they are not in this alone – we all stand with them. The next step is to kick off your fundraiser to take your support to the next level!

And to the families in our Circle - showing up with your team of family and friends who have supported you throughout your journey is a great way to spread awareness!

Why fundraise?
Our Walk/Run is one of our three major annual fundraising events. This fundraiser is only possible with the help of our sponsors and fundraisers. The money you raise through fundraising primarily supports our Financial Assistance program, which helps families cover their non-medical expenses during treatment.

Often, parents must stop working during their child’s treatment to provide the level of care their child needs. Medical copays are just one of the surmounting costs incurred during a child’s cancer treatment. Between these unexpected expenses and the loss of work, families can struggle to pay their basic expenses like rent, car insurance, and groceries. Our financial assistance alleviates these non-medical expenses for families, allowing them to focus on caring for their child rather than keeping a roof over their heads or food on the table.
