2019 Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival: Supporting Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Research

The Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival benefits the adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer program at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center — Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.

Cancer has become the number one disease killer in young adults. While cancer survival rates have improved for other age groups, AYA survival rates have not improved nearly as well.

Even when a young adult beats cancer, unique social issues await them: survivors sometimes find it difficult to make friends, to date and to get careers and finances back on track.

Your support of the Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival will provide research funds to develop programming and support that addresses the unique needs of AYA patients.
