About
In 2025, The Cancer Foundation celebrates our 20th anniversary. This milestone represents not just the years we’ve dedicated to the fight against the high cost of cancer but also the number of lives we have touched.
To commemorate this milestone and to honor an ardent champion of our efforts and largest benefactor to the organization, The Cancer Foundation is proud to announce the launch of The Leebern Leadership Society.
History Behind the Leebern Leadership Society
For many years, Don and Suzanne stood as pillars of strength and support for this Foundation. They believed that no one in our community should ever have to face the crushing burden of cancer alone, especially when financial struggles stand in the way of treatment. Their giving spirit transformed lives, providing thousands of local cancer patients with the essentials of hope: safe housing, reliable transportation, groceries, utilities, and the security of knowing that someone cared.
Leebern Leadership Society Members:
This giving group brings together an extraordinary group of supporters who, like Don, lead with generosity and compassion. Their commitment provides the strength and resources needed to ensure cancer patients receive the help they need. It carries Don’s vision forward by uniting those who believe, as he did, that generosity has the power to heal.
Members of the Leebern Leadership Society are not just partners in our mission, they set the pace for what is possible. Each of member embodies Don’s spirit of care and service, and carry his vision forward. Because of Don and members of the Leebern Leadership Society the gift of hope continues to shine for patients in need today and for years to come. This commitment continues our work, strengthens Don’s legacy of love, and ensures that hope will always shine for cancer patients in need.
Leebern Leadership Society: Honoring A Life Well Lived
The Leebern Leadership Society was created, with the support of Suzanne to honor the memory of Don Leebern. It was unthinkable to Don that anyone should struggle to access treatment due to lack of financial resources. Members of this society aim to continue Don’s legacy of generosity and support for cancer patients in need, make a significant impact and ensure that more individuals have the resources they need to fight, heal, endure.
