What is C.U.F.F. Cancer?
Presented by the Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff Federation and Albertsons Women Initiative Network, CUFF Cancer is a fundraiser for families affected by cancer. Law enforcement officials and community members raise funds and in turn have their heads shaved as a physical demonstration of support for those individuals and families living with a cancer.  Presented in a carnival atmosphere and inviting for families of all ages, this is truly a community event.

 

Where did the C.U.F.F. Cancer event begin?
C.U.F.F. Cancer is a “Fund-Razor” that was started in 1998 by the Vermont Law Enforcement community.  It is modeled after the “Cops for Cancer” program in Ontario, Canada.  The program began when an Edmonton Officer met a 5-year-old boy named Lyle who had been undergoing cancer treatment.  The officer decided to help Lyle by showing him that it was okay to be bald.  Lyle took pictures by the police car with several other officers who also decided to shave their heads in honor of Lyle. 

 

Who does C.U.F.F. Cancer Benefit?
Monies raised benefit the family programs at Cancer Wellness House, a support community for children, teens, men and women. The Cancer Wellness House provides free  programs for anyone touched by cancer through support groups, well-being workshops and social events.

Voted “Cancer Facility of the Year” in 2005 by the Utah Department of Health, the Cancer Wellness House guides thousands of children, teens, and adults through the cancer journey by caring and compassionate volunteers and facilitators at the House.
