The Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara was founded in 1949 on a promise —a promise that continues today — to provide the highest quality of cancer care to everyone in the Santa Barbara community. The Cancer Foundation is the community’s partner in the journey with, through and beyond cancer. Raising and granting millions of dollars each year to Ridley-Tree Cancer Center, the Cancer Foundation provides the resources to offer a level of cancer care that would otherwise be impossible in a community our size, on par with many renowned cancer centers across the country.
