Best Coast Beer Fest benefits Cancer for College, a non-profit that gives cancer survivors college scholarships. Cancer for College was founded in 1993 by one of Will Ferrell’s best friends, two-time cancer survivor and double-amputee Craig Pollard. Craig saw first hand the physical, emotional and financial devastation that cancer can have on a family. Families dealing with cancer often exhaust every last resource in the process of returning their child to health. This battle can leave nothing left for the survivor for things such as a college education. Cancer for College provides hope and inspiration to cancer survivors by granting college scholarships. Since inception, the charity has granted nearly $2 million in scholarships to more than one thousand survivors from around the country.
