Medicine treats cancer. We treat families

Who
we are

Ashlin’s Alliance was founded on a simple belief: no family facing childhood cancer should ever feel alone.

Created in honor of Ashlin Cottrill and inspired by her courageous battle with leukemia, our organization exists to turn compassion into action. We raise funds for childhood cancer research while also supporting local families through community-driven events and meaningful acts of care.

Rooted in the Youngstown area, Ashlin’s Alliance is a volunteer-powered nonprofit built on empathy, connection, and hope. Together, we are creating a strong Alliance that helps families find light in the darkness of childhood cancer.

More information about our programs, events, and impact is coming soon.
