Cancer Financial Assistance Program

Ribbons for a Cure, Inc., a local cancer awareness non-profit organization, is currently accepting applications for its 2025 Financial Assistance Program.

The program provides a one-time financial assistance benefit in the amount of $500 for cancer related prescription medication, diagnostic testing, or CT scans to individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer.

The Financial Assistance Program is available to cancer patients and survivors who have resided in the U.S. Virgin Islands permanently for the past three (3) years.  The benefits will be awarded based on the availability of funds and may be used to fully or partially cover payments for cancer-related prescription medication, diagnostic testing or CT scans.

Funding for this program has been made possible through the contributions of businesses and individual donors throughout the community. Applications are available online at www.ribbonsforacure.net.
