Support organization

Coaches Against Cancer

Coaches Against Cancer is an independent San Jose-area nonprofit led by founder Mark Krail, not the similarly named American Cancer Society and NABC campaign. Its Dream Come True program accepts self-nominations and third-party nominations for people and families affected by cancer. Requests may involve a special experience, travel or event tickets, hotel access, groceries, bills, gift cards, or local-transit passes. The public nomination form is active, but age, residence, medical-verification, selection, timing, and benefit-limit rules are not published. An official pediatric case confirms that children with cancer are among the people served.
