“We're very focused on finding more cures for more people, but we are also trying to serve as...a connective tissue and be that advocate within the space for that patient-centered treatment and focus.”
— Lyndsay Springer, Founder and Director
Our Impact
Improving treatment outcomes for lymphoma patients requires a unified approach.
By collaborating with healthcare institutions, research organizations, Veteran-focused groups, and corporate partners, we’re able to close gaps in fragmented research models and drive progress. Together, we’re funding innovative cancer research that directly enhances outcomes and quality of life for patients and their families.
DID YOU KNOW…?
Active Duty Military and Veterans face significantly higher cancer rates compared to the general population.
This is due to unique environmental exposures and lifestyle factors that impact their health. The Chike Springer Foundation is actively addressing this issue by partnering with the Lymphoma Research Foundation to co-sponsor innovative initiatives at VA hospitals and Military Treatment Facilities. Our partnership with the Lymphoma Research Foundation allows us to fund critical cancer research to understand how lymphoma in the Military and Veteran populations compares to the general population.
Why Support the Chike Springer Foundation?
CSF is on a mission to support Active Military and Veteran research, ensuring our heroes receive the care and resources they deserve. Your generous gift directly fuels these efforts and brings us one step closer to our shared goal of improving the lives of those who have served our country.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings hope closer to reality.
The CSF Difference: A Veteran-Founded Nonprofit Dedicated to Honoring Chike's Legacy
At CSF, our dedication to the cause is deeply rooted in the values upheld by our foundation’s namesake, Chike Springer. A proud Veteran, Chike believed in making a difference and inspired others to do the same. During his treatment for lymphoma, he was adamant about giving back and contributing to the cure. He frequently talked about starting a non-profit to help others fighting similar battles. Chike's unwavering belief in the power of unity and determination continues to inspire us every day, and his passion for service drives our mission.
“A proud Veteran, Chike believed in making a difference and inspired others to do the same. ”
This heartfelt video is dedicated to Chike, the current patients fighting their own battles, and the caregivers who demonstrate unwavering strength by their loved ones' side.
