Dream!
Our dreams are simple—
- to provide support services and education for everyone whose life has been touched by thyroid cancer, and
- to support research to find cures for all thyroid cancer.
Making Our Dreams a Reality
Contributions are crucial to sustaining, strengthening, and expanding our free support services and outreach and funding thyroid cancer research.
The generosity of patients, families, friends, professionals, corporations, and foundations assures the quality of our support services, funds our publications and community outreach, strengthens our education initiatives, and supports thyroid cancer research.
The contributions from all who appreciate and support our mission of service and research are vital and deeply appreciated.
Why Donate?
ThyCa provides unique kinds of support that offer education and comfort to all persons diagnosed with thyroid cancer, as well as to their loved ones. We help everyone, no matter where they are or what their circumstances.
ThyCa was founded in 1995 by numerous caring individuals who made a promise that no one would ever face thyroid cancer treatment alone. All funds raised go to support our mission.
To keep our promise, ThyCa must raise new money each year, and we rely on the community to make this possible.
How to Donate
You can help by sending a donation to support our efforts. Because ThyCa is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, your donations are tax-deductible.
Please help us reach our goals! We need your support so that no one who has thyroid cancer will go through their journey alone.
Every gift counts. Your gift makes a profound difference in the lives of people who really need our help. The important thing is for us to hear from you as soon as possible!
You may send a check, money order, or certificate of shares of stock to:
ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc.
P.O. Box 1545
New York, NY 10159-1545
Or you may use print donation form on this page.
$$$$ = Research Research = Cure
Where Does the Money Go?
Nearly all of ThyCa's expenditures go to support Thyroid Cancer Education, Awareness and Support through our services such as our support groups, web site, toll-free number, annual conference and regional workshops, and newsletters. Our Research Grants are awarded through a scientific peer review system paneled by the American Thyroid Association. We are not affiliated with any specific hospital or research institution and thus we award grants to the applicants that have the best combination of scientific merit, appropriately skilled researchers, the greatest likelihood for success, and the highest benefit for the thyroid cancer patient community.
Our research grants are open to researchers and institutions worldwide.
Sponsorship
ThyCa works with foundations, associations, and corporations to build mutually beneficial relationships aimed at promoting the well-being of people whose lives have been touched by this disease and finding a cure for all thyroid cancer.
Opportunities are available to sponsor and support local, regional, and national special events and fundraising activities, underwrite patient service projects, and contribute educational grants to support our annual conferences.
Supporting ThyCa strengthens an organization’s public reputation as a contributor to the health and well-being of the community. Your clients, customers, and employees will be proud of your association with ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc., boosting morale and helping motivate your workforce. Your clients and customers will appreciate your support of a worthy cause. Sponsorship and support opportunities are available in Fund Raising, Patient and Community Services, Professional Education, and Research.

Future Gifts
Planned gifts are one important way that you can help ThyCa realize our vision of making quality support available to all thyroid cancer survivors, their families, and those affected in our community. A gift at death can save estate taxes as well. A gift during your lifetime can save both estate taxes and income taxes, while providing you or a loved one with a fixed income for life. You accomplish this with the added benefit of knowing you are making an important difference in the lives of many people.
Remembering ThyCa in your will may be a wonderful way to provide tax benefits for your estate. Please consult with your attorney or tax advisor if you are interested. Please let us know of your plans! We would like to have the chance to thank you and recognize you among the special people who have designated ThyCa as the beneficiary of a planned gift. These individuals have demonstrated great forethought and generosity, and inspire others to help ThyCa.
Click here if you've already designated ThyCa as the beneficiary of a planned gift or would like more information about planned giving.
