IMPROVING THE LIVES OF BLOOD CANCER PATIENTS

RESEARCH. EDUCATION. AWARENESS.

ABOUT US

The Better Life Foundation of California was founded in 2016. Our non-profit is focused on improving the lives of those affected with blood cancers by funding research and educational programs.

EVENTS & PROJECTS

Better Life Foundation hosts an annual fundraiser  - Sunday on the Green. It is an all-day event that includes an 18-hole shotgun golf tournament followed by an afternoon patio party for many supporters, non-golfers and golfers alike.  

 

TUSCANO RESEARCH FUND

The Better Life Foundation is a primary benefactor of the Tuscano Research Fund at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Joseph Tuscano is a Sacramento area oncologist and researcher and his areas of specialty include the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, MDS, and multiple myeloma.  

 

ABOUT US

Better Life Foundation was founded in 2016 by Loel Heupel, Executive Director. Loel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2006, and had a successful bone marrow / stem cell transplant in September 2012.  At that time, he committed to giving back to the people and the community that helped him beat cancer, including the physician who treated him, Dr. Joseph Tuscano of Sacramento. 

 

Since 2013, when a small volunteer group organized by the Better Life Foundation kicked off their first benefit event, the non-profit has donated more than $530,000 to help fund blood cancer research programs. Today, the Foundation is overseen by a Board of Directors, and willingly seeks volunteers to support its major fundraiser, Sunday on the Green.

 

The Foundation continues to seek ways to increase the awareness of cancers and to help improve the lives of those affected by blood cancers. The charity is based in Carmichael, CA.
