My Hometown Heroes is a 501(c)3 organization designed to provide scholarships for young adult cancer survivors between the ages of 17 and 39. Our mission is to financially assist and recognize these amazing individuals who are pursuing a college education. Through community outreach, collaboration, and creativity we inspire with stories of hope and progress. From 2011 through 2016 My Hometown Heroes has awarded 44 scholarships to young adult survivors from across the United States. Allocations have ranged between $1000 and $5000. Every year there are over 70,000 young adults between the ages of 15 and 39 years old who are diagnosed with cancer. Between the years 2016 and 2020, the cumulative student debt among this college bound population will be over $5 billion dollars. Join us in our effort to award $1,000,000 in scholarships by 2020.
