INDY directly supports Minnesota's cancer warriors and their families with love, faith and financial support through our programs
Monthly Warriors - kids and adultsOur monthly Warrior program highlights an adult (18+) and child (0-17) each month by putting funds directly in their pockets with no discrimination on cancer type or financial standings. INDY also provides our monthly Warrior’s with direct support to people who understand.
|
Backpack ProgramOur original cancer Warrior, Kyle Strand, always had a bag of his favorite things to take with him to treatment and appointments. This sparked the idea of providing Warrior backpacks for MN cancer Warriors to area hospitals & cancer centers.
|
Emergency FundWe are all too aware of how cancer affects you physically, emotionally and financially. INDY provides emergency funds which allows cancer Warriors to request a gas or grocery gift card to help during their cancer journey.
|
GVL Thrive PartnershipGVL Thrive was an idea that was born after cancer thriver, Stephanie Kennelly, found healing and comfort in her stay at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, MN. Learn how we partner with Stephanie’s organization to award Warriors with a weekend get-away!

your doll-hairs (Dollars) matter...
a FUN fundraiser supporting mn's cancer warriors.
|
Meet Chris.... He has been growing his hair out to donate it to a cause but we've decided to add a little fun to the party!
Your Dollars determine his haircut style BUT if we raise $2000 or more, he grows his hair for another year. Chris is the husband of INDY board member Jessica Schilling Brigman. He has had many friends and family members go through their own cancer journeys, and is moved to do what he can to help those going through their cancer journey. Chris specifically looked to donate his hair to an organization that does not make the recipient pay for the wig. This is the second time he has chosen to donate. It takes about two years for him to grow out his hair to be long enough to donate, and he’s excited to have finally reached that length and for whomever gets a wig from his hair. He hopes it brings them some comfort in what he imagines is one of their most challenging times in their life. He wanted to have another great non-profit to benefit from his donation. He sees what INDY does and the powerful impact it has in warriors’ everyday lives. It is the sort of group that deserves support in so many ways . . . Dollars and “doll hairs” (if you know Chris you know his love of wordplay)! Please support INDY and help Chris decide what hair cut he will receive. We will do a live feed of the final hair cut on September 30th @ 2:15 PM @Head First in Little Falls, MN. If you can donate $5, $10, $20, or any dollar amount, your dollars will be used to determine his haircut style and support Minnesota's cancer warriors. |
sept. 30th @ noon is the cut off to determine which hair style chris will get!$250 - $500 Raised: Chris will receive his "normal" haircut
$501 - $750 Raised: Chris will receive a buzz cut. $751 - $1000 Raised: Chris will receive a mohawk. $2000+ Raised: Chris grows his hair for another year! Join in on the fun and let's raise some money for Minnesota's cancer warriors! |

WHO WE ARE.
INDY is a Minnesota-based non-profit organization dedicated to giving support to real-life Warriors in the midst of their cancer battle. Every month we highlight two Minnesotan Warriors - 1 Little INDY warrior and 1 INDY warrior (18+). Through online sales, donations and in-store retailers, the honoree will receive a portion of all profits during their specified month. In addition we provide the Warrior and their family with official INDY Warrior gear, a check and we highlight their journey through a video - which you can find on our site. Do you have a Warrior in your life? Nominate them here.
