Welcome to The Captain Kandis Cookie Ruiz Foundation

Alternative, Integrative, Naturopathic, or Holistic cancer treatment support

Do you have a family member or loved one diagnosed with cancer, or have you been diagnosed yourself? We’re here to help!

We understand the challenges faced by individuals diagnosed with cancer. CKCRF extends a helping hand to military service members and civilians who are seeking alternative, integrative, naturopathic, or holistic cancer treatments.

Our Captain Kandis Ruiz program is for active, and veteran US military members, and our You’re Awesome program is for civilians.

Supporting Rugby Athletes

Our foundation provides out-of-pocket financial assistance for athletic equipment and travel expenses, enabling Rugby athletes to pursue their passion and excel on and off the field.

Our Get the Gear program helps with equipment expenses, and the Inside the Centre program helps with travel expenses.
