WHO WE ARE & WHY WE ARE

Every day, people face crossroads, some simple, others life-altering.  In these moments, the choices we make and the support we receive shape our journey.

​

Circle the Wagons Foundation was born from a deep respect for the fearless and resilient; individuals who confront adversity with strength, defy the odds, and draw power from faith, hope, and community.  In the spirit of "circling the wagons," we rally around one another in the battle against cancer, determined to make a lasting impact and bring us closer to a cure.

​

Inspired by the resilience of loved ones affected by cancer, James Currey and Christian Buerk, alongside their families, Lacey (Hansen) Buerk and Ashley Currey, established the Circle the Wagons Foundation in 2024. 

​

Today, the foundation supports programs that promote physical and emotional well-being, provides financial assistance to families battling cancer, and funds cancer research initiatives throughout Western New York.​

​

Because no one should battle alone. Together, we Circle the Wagons in support of the Fearless.
