Spring isn’t about becoming something entirely new. It’s about coming back to life with what’s already there.

At the Community Foundation for Brevard, this season reflects the continuity of our work. While not all growth is visible at once, with care and intention, it endures.

In spring, we welcome the promise of possibility, honoring what has carried us here while embracing all that is ready to surface🌸

The Community Foundation for Brevard has awarded a $114,000 medical research grant to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine to support innovative cancer survivorship research led by Akina Natori, MD, MSPH, and Frank J. Penedo, PhD.

The study will develop a free, web-based stress management and health-promotion program for survivors of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), featuring coping and communication skills, positive thinking, guided relaxation, and goal-setting tools. Designed to be self-paced, accessible from anywhere, and informed by survivor and clinician feedback, the program aims to help patients rebuild confidence and improve quality of life during survivorship.
