Family Support

Student-Athlete Support Request Form

Athletes Fighting Cancer provides support and resources to student athletes who are facing a cancer diagnosis. This form allows a parent or legal guardian to provide information about the student athlete so that our team can better understand the circumstances and determine how we may be able to assist.

All information provided will be kept confidential and used solely for the purpose of evaluating eligibility for support and connecting families with appropriate resources.

This form must be completed by a parent or legal guardian of the student athlete.

Athletes Fighting Cancer maintains a voluntary network of athletes and families who provide encouragement and peer support during treatment and recovery.

(Participation is entirely optional and can be changed at any time.)

After submitting this form, a member of the Athletes Fighting Cancer team will follow up with your family.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

When a young athlete is facing cancer, everything changes – for them, and for the people who love them.

At Athletes Fighting Cancer, we are here to help lighten the load in meaningful, practical ways so that families can focus on what matters most: care, connection, and healing.

Whether your child is newly diagnosed, in the middle of treatment, or facing the challenges that come after, we understand that each journey is different – and we are here to meet you where you are.

How We Help

Every family’s needs are unique. Through this application, we learn more about your situation so we can provide thoughtful, individualized support. This may include:

Financial assistance for treatment-related expenses 

Equipment or resources to maintain connection to sports 

Emotional support and community connection 

Other needs specific to your family’s situation 

Our goal is simple: to provide support that truly makes a difference during a difficult time.

What to Expect

The application takes approximately 10 minutes to complete 

All information is kept strictly confidential 

Our team reviews each submission with care and compassion 

We may follow up with additional questions to better understand your needs 

Due to the number of requests we receive, we may not be able to fulfill every application – but every submission is thoughtfully considered.
