Our Mission

Support Local Cancer Fighters in Fort Collins

Together, We Can Help Families Fight Their Toughest Battle

No one chooses cancer.

Yet every day, individuals and families throughout Fort Collins and Northern Colorado hear words that change everything.

Suddenly, life becomes a whirlwind of doctor appointments, treatments, uncertainty, financial pressure, and emotional exhaustion.

During those moments, people need more than medicine.

They need hope.

They need encouragement.

They need a community that reminds them they are not fighting alone.

That's why Knockout Cancer exists.

Our mission is to rally the Fort Collins community around local cancer fighters and their families by providing support, encouragement, and resources when they need them most.

Every donation helps us continue that mission.

Fighting Cancer Takes More Than One Person

Cancer impacts far more than the individual receiving treatment.

It affects spouses.

Children.

Parents.

Friends.

Coworkers.

Entire families.

That's why we believe the strongest weapon against cancer is community.

When people come together, incredible things happen.

Meals are delivered.

Financial burdens become lighter.

Encouragement replaces isolation.

Hope begins to grow.

Your generosity helps make those moments possible.

Keeping Support Local

Every dollar donated helps strengthen our efforts to support cancer fighters right here in Fort Collins and throughout Northern Colorado.

Our goal isn't simply to raise awareness.

Our goal is to make a real difference in the lives of local families facing one of life's greatest challenges.

Because when someone in our community is fighting cancer...

They're not fighting alone.

Why Knockout Cancer?

Founder Shane Swartz knows what that fight feels like.

After surviving throat cancer in 2019, Shane experienced firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and emotional weight that cancer places on individuals and their loved ones.

That journey transformed his purpose.

Today, Knockout Cancer exists to bring people together through service, generosity, and hope.

The boxing gym teaches discipline and resilience.

The nonprofit extends those same values into the community by supporting people facing cancer every day.

Your generosity supports community outreach, fundraising efforts, special events, and programs designed to encourage individuals and families affected by cancer.

You are not fighting alone.

Someone who needs encouragement.

Someone who simply needs to know their community is behind them.
