The Heart of YogaCAN

Smiling man in outdoor setting, wearing black shirt.

YogaCAN began as a community yoga class known as JaneCAN, created as an opportunity for family, friends, and the community to rally together in support of Jane Waltzer as she and her family faced the challenges of breast cancer.

Following Jane’s passing, her legacy of strength, gratitude, and selfless service continued through the creation of the annual YogaCAN event. What started as a gathering of support has grown into a meaningful community tradition dedicated to helping local families facing cancer receive the financial assistance and resources they need.

“Jane’s simple declaration of gratitude, ‘we are the lucky ones,’ continues to inspire us to be of service to those fighting cancer without the support and financial resources that we had.”

— Joel Waltzer, YogaCAN Founder

Making a Difference Together

Since its founding, YogaCAN has raised more than $1,000,000 to support local families battling cancer. Every dollar raised helps provide financial assistance, resources, and hope during some of life’s most difficult moments.
