About Us

Captain Kandis Cookie Ruiz Foundation (CKCRF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. We are not an alternative, integrative, naturopathic, or holistic medical establishment, nor do we employ licensed physicians, nurses, or therapists.

Our Vision

The Captain Kandis Cookie Ruiz Foundation envisions enhancing the quality of life for individuals on community, local, state, national, and global levels. We aim to:

  • Empower cancer patients to make informed decisions about their care, including the option of alternative, integrative, naturopathic, or holistic cancer treatments.
  • Collaborate with alternative, integrative, naturopathic, and holistic cancer providers, offering financial assistance for out-of-pocket expenses and maintaining a directory of contacts and services.
  • Support rugby players by covering out-of-pocket costs for equipment and travel.
  • Forge partnerships with other nonprofit organizations, setting an example of how community service can be modernized for future generations.
