Rev Up Hope is dedicated to providing essential support services for cancer patients throughout California. We understand that medical treatment can be challenging and expensive, which is why we focus on practical assistance rather than research funding. Our goal is to alleviate the burdens faced by patients and their families, ensuring they can access the care they need without the added stress of logistical challenges.
Every dollar you donate is leveraged to provide critical resources such as transportation to treatment, lodging during care, and financial assistance for medical copays. With your generosity, we can connect patients with the services that will help them navigate their cancer journey more easily. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those battling cancer.

↗Real impact, real numbers
Your donation can have a profound impact on cancer patients in need. For instance, a $1,500 contribution funds approximately 50 round-trip rides to chemotherapy or radiation for patients without transportation. Additionally, this amount can cover a month of lodging for a family during treatment, or provide copay assistance that supports multiple treatment cycles for low-income patients. Larger donations can amplify this impact even further, making your generosity not just a contribution, but a lifeline for those facing cancer.
How we vet recipient partners
At Rev Up Hope, we prioritize transparency and accountability. We partner with organizations that are recognized within patient-assistance networks, focusing on those that are listed with reputable entities. Our partners are verified to have a high program ratio, ensuring that a significant portion of funds directly supports patient services rather than administrative costs. This commitment guarantees that your donation truly benefits those who need it most.
How proceeds flow
After deducting vehicle tow and processing costs, around 70-80% of the gross proceeds from your donation will reach our partner organizations, who are committed to providing vital support services. This means that your contribution, once processed through our program ratio, directly enhances services that benefit cancer patients in our communities, maximizing the impact of your generosity.
