Conquer The Day

Mission Statement

Conquer the Day is a 501(c)(3) orginization Inspired by the manner in which Stefan Pierson lived his life. Our goal is to provide support to young adults, between the ages of 18-25, who are battling cancer, to give them the opportunity to conquer the day, living life to the fullest and positively impacting those around them.

Your gifts will help others battling cancer to live the “Stefan way…” No obstacles, no physical limitations should prevent a person from engaging in the things that make them whole, at any stage of life. To honor Stefan’s legacy, we will encourage and promote young adults physically challenged by cancer to pursue their passions; ski a mountain, play a song, ride a wave, or score a goal.

Examples of support provided by Stefan’s Wish:
·   Adaptive ski equipment to keep experiencing the mountain
·   Trip of a lifetime
·   Prosthetics (not covered by insurance)
·   Camp or outings to sporting, music, or art event

Currently our focus is providing for patients being treated at the University of Vermont Medical Center and we anticipate no gift exceeding $10,000.
