We Stand Together, Inc.

About We Stand Together, Inc.

We Stand Together, Inc. (WST) was founded in honor of our late founder, Natalie Marc Surpris, who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at just 38 years old.T  hrough Natalie’s journey, we gained a deeper understanding of cancer and met many young adults, particularly young minorities, who were also battling this disease. These experiences inspired our mission to raise cancer awareness, particularly in underserved and at-risk communities.

Our Mission in Action

Throughout the year, we host community-focused events like the Blue Hope Colon Cancer Awareness 5K, Community Health Fairs, and the WST Table Talk series. These initiatives aim to educate and raise awareness about cancer, emphasizing the importance of early screenings and encouraging healthy lifestyles.

Providing Support Where It’s Needed Most

We’re committed to supporting individuals and families affected by cancer by:

1. Celebrating and honoring cancer survivorship
2. Offering financial support to cancer patients to assist with living expenses 
3. Providing scholarships for college students impacted by cancer
4. Delivering care packages to patients in treatment centers

Our Programs

1. WST Financial Assistance Program: Provides emergency funds to cancer patients undergoing treatment or within one year of remission, helping with essential living expenses.
2. Natalie Marc Surpris Scholarship Fund: Awards scholarships to college undergraduates who have been affected by cancer through their own diagnosis or a parents cancer diagnosis.

Our Impact

Since launching these programs in 2021, we’ve provided $56,972 in financial support to cancer patients and $17,000 in scholarships to college students in South Florida. 

Join Us in the Fight Against Cancer

None of this would be possible without the generosity and support of our community.  We invite you to STAND with us in this fight. Together, we can inspire hope, bring joy to families impacted by cancer, and remind them that “No One Fights Alone.”
