The Shelly Sachs Foundation
Assisting Families Living With, Through & Beyond Cancer
Founded by Aaron Sachs and his children, the Shelly Sachs Foundation is a 501c3/W9 nonprofit organization that aims to assist individuals and families in navigating the many challenges of living with—and beyond—cancer. The foundation was created in loving memory of Aaron’s wife, Shelly, who lost her battle with cancer in 2017.
Cancer not only affects patients; it also changes the lives of their families and loved ones. It has a tremendous and far-reaching physical, emotional, and financial toll. The goal of the Shelly Sachs Foundation is to help ease some of the worry and lift some of the burdens patients and families face as they live with, through, and beyond cancer.
To that end, the foundation assists with some of the myriad costs associated with cancer and cancer treatment, such as prescriptions and procedures not covered by insurance, insurance premiums and co-pays, transportation to and from medical appointments, durable medical equipment, nutrition, and more.

Community Events
As part of our commitment to giving back, our team at Aaron Sachs & Associates, P.C. is proud to take part in numerous community events each year. Many of these events support cancer research and related causes, and several specifically benefit the Shelly Sachs Foundation. Among these are the Dinner on the Diamond event, an annual dinner held at Hammons Field in partnership with the Springfield Cardinals, and the Diamonds on the Diamond Raffle, which provides one lucky winner with a custom-made, one-of-a-kind diamond pendant.
