Carve 4 Cancer Gives $10,000 to St. Luke's Cancer Center
Carve for Cancer writes $10,000 check to support cancer patients at St. Luke’s Cancer Center
Last year Carve for Cancer Inc. announced it’s formation of the Live Like Brent Foundation which seeks to provide financial assistance to individuals in their fight against blood cancers. What started off as a humble goal to seek out and help a few individual, has exploded into an amazing partnership with some of the best hospitals in the country. St. Luke’s Cancer Center is one of those hospitals.
Earlier this year Carve for Cancer officially launched the Live Like Brent Foundation at St. Luke’s Cancer Center with a $10,000 endowment to the renowned hospital. Now patients battling cancer at St. Luke’s will have access to funds that can be used to cover a variety of costs. The foundations funds will be disbursed by qualified social workers and support staff at the hospital.
“When we started this foundation all we knew was that we wanted to have a major impact and ensure our donors dollars would be put to the absolute best use possible.” Said Josh Frank of Carve for Cancer. “Originally we planned on selecting patients ourselves, but quickly learned the great need so many hospitals had in finding funds to ease the financial bourdon put on their patients. We couldn’t be happier to have partners like St. Luke’s Cancer Center to help see that our funds go to great use!”
The foundations name honors the late founder of Carve for Cancer, Brent P. Evans.
Aisling Carroll, who was responsible for the formation of the Live Like Brent Foundation noted. “Our founder, Brent, who unfortunately passed away from complications with lymphoma, knew all too well of the struggles associated with fighting cancer…. twice!” She stated. “He was the type of guy that when he beat cancer the first time, he immediately started focusing his energy on helping others with their fight. I know he would be proud of what this foundation is achieving.”

Yassine Boundouq Joins C4C!
Carve 4 Cancer, the blood cancer shredding charity based in Philadelphia, PA, announced that professional longboard skateboarder, Yassine Boundouq, has joined the Carve 4 Cancer mission to shred blood cancers as an Athlete Ambassador. The 23 year old Moraccan has a style all his own and takes longboarding to a whole new level. He is on a mission to not only help the organization shred cancer but to bring longboarding to his local community in Morocco. In fact, Yassine considers himself an ambassador of the longboard and with his smooth, flawless style... who better? When he's not on his board, Boundouq is an inspirational speaker, traveler, photographer, and filmmaker.
"For the moment I'm sponsored by the lovely brand Loaded Boards and Orangatang wheels. For Carve 4 Cancer, I'm really stoked to ride for the cause. I have many plans and one of my goals to make it known by entire world, not only in USA."
The Carve 4 Cancer team could not be happier to have Yassine join the team. Earl Stout, a board member for C4C, first met Boundouq in the springtime of 2017 and the two instantly connected.
"Yassine is one of the best guys you'll meet in the longboarding world. He is passionate about the sport and puts everything he has in whatever he does. He sets his eyes on a goal and goes out and gets it. We're psyched he will be bringing that same energy and focus to Carve 4 Cancer."
