About The Cancer Warrior Truck

❊ About Us

Fueled by compassion. Driven by purpose. Focused on the fight — because it’s all about the kids.

Our Story

What started as one truck and a big idea has grown into a powerful community movement. Cancer Warrior Truck was built to do more than turn heads — it was built to turn compassion into action.

Founded in Central Iowa, our nonprofit was created to support families with children battling cancer. From day one, our mission has been simple but strong: raise money, raise awareness, and raise hope — with every dollar (except basic truck maintenance) going directly to the families who need it most.

Our Mission

To provide financial support and emotional encouragement to families of children fighting cancer. We do this through community events, partnerships, donations, and one unforgettable truck that reminds everyone why we’re here.

We’re not just helping families — we’re standing beside them.

What We Do

  • Host Community Events like our annual Cruise to Blank Children’s Hospital and the Cancer Warrior Truck Fun Fest

  • Raise Funds through local donations, business sponsorships, and raffles

  • Deliver Support to families in the form of gas cards, meal assistance, lodging help, and more

  • Promote Awareness by showing up with the Cancer Warrior Truck and sharing survivor stories and family journeys

Who We Serve

We primarily support families throughout Central Iowa, but our vision is growing — and wherever there's a family in need, we want to be part of their village.

Why the Truck?

The Cancer Warrior Truck is more than a vehicle — it’s a rolling symbol of strength, community, and visibility. It reminds families they’re not fighting alone. Wherever the truck goes, hope follows.

Join the Movement

Whether you donate, sponsor, volunteer, or simply share our story — you’re part of this mission. And together, we can keep showing families exactly what it means when we say:

It’s all about the kids.
