Celebrating 25 years of supporting cancer patients
As we reflect on our evolution from a regional family foundation to a national nonprofit organization, our spotlight remains on the cancer community we serve.
Our mission was born out of the needs created by health disparities, and we remain committed to improving solutions for all families who need us.
As long as families are forced to choose between their health and their homes due to a cancer diagnosis, we will keep fighting. We hope you’ll join us as we take on the next 25!
The evolution of Family Reach
Our logo got a new look in honor of our anniversary. The goal was a brand refresh that honored our past, recognized our evolution, and communicated our vision for the future.
We chose the new typeface with our mission and core values in mind, reflecting the compassionate, scrappy, courageous, innovative, and collaborative nature of Family Reach.
The clean yet approachable font is a nod to how much more robust our solutions are today compared to when the previous logo was designed, including our expansion to serve young adult and adult cancer patients in addition to pediatric patients.
We were also intentional about changing the two typefaces to one and introducing standard capitalization. This elevated our branding to match Family Reach’s successes and opportunities as a changemaker in the cancer space.

After

Ultimately, this logo refresh goes back to the families we serve. We want them to know we are here for them today and we’re still fighting for a better tomorrow.
