Collin Cares Cure Cancer is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded by Collin Kiousis in 2016. Collin was a senior at Medina High School in the fall of 2014 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Even while undergoing many surgeries and treatments, he was still able to graduate with his class and even attend Akron University for one year. He lived by the saying, “Defy the Hand You’re Dealt”, and even had that phrase tattooed on his back left shoulder blade.
Collin wanted to start a foundation that would donate to people who were going through what he was going through. In the past 6 years we have donated close to $200,000 to hundreds of families dealing with cancer, the majority from NE Ohio.
