Our Crowdfunding Groups
The 8th Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival will take place Friday September 26, 2025 to benefit the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer program at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). This year, with your support, we hope to raise over $60,000!
Community support for the AYA cancer program is crucial. Cancer remains the leading cause of death from disease for women ages 15 to 39 and the second-leading cause for young men, according to the American Cancer Society. So far, the Mac and Cheese Festival community has raised almost half a million dollars to help change this story.
These funds have supported targeted research studies, vital and encouraging survivorship programming and enhanced spaces for AYA patients at the OSUCCC – James. The need for cancer research still exists, and we invite you to continue your support of the Columbus Mac and Cheese Festival.
Your support of events like the Mac & Cheese Festival truly make an impact. Investing in the cancer experts at the OSUCCC – James fuels groundbreaking discoveries that will lead to our ultimate goal of a cancer-free world. Please join the NextGen James Ambassadors by making a gift. On behalf of the world-class doctors, researchers, friends and caregivers at the OSUCCC – James, we greatly appreciate any support you are able to provide. We thank you for your consideration in joining us in this important cause.
