So if you, like me, were totally confused about what exactly Kill All Cancer is about, Vicki Gunvalson is here to clarify that, no, it’s not an insurance policy, but a charitable organization that collects funds to distribute to cancer patients and organizations by selling bracelets.
Vicki describes KillAllCancer.com as where “real awareness is raised” and the organization plans to “reinvent the way charities are run while building an International Cancer Killer.”

Actually, I think I’m more confused after reading through the Kill All Cancer website and the official description from the Real Housewives Of Orange County star’s publicist, which is below.
After explaining that cancer rates are “staggering” among American adults, Kill All Cancer explains their role is to be “a unique, transparent website dedicated to the fight against cancer and putting an end to the global health crisis.”
How exactly?
“KillAllCancer.com will not collect any funds but serve as a ‘pass-through’ for people to make donations without fear that the money is being used in a nefarious way. Real transparency on whom you give to, where it goes, and how the funds are being used will be available.”
“We are not in any way buying or selling anything, nor are we collecting your personal information. Initially we wanted to give you an outlet to learn how you could protect yourself from the financial devastation of cancer but we decided not to! The only thing we ask is that you check out one or more of the charity partners & maybe give them a donation!”
“I have so many people in my life that have lied about having cancer, had cancer, or have passed away from cancer that it’s something that is very personal to me,” explains Vicki, “and I am happy to offer my help.” Will Vicki bring them casseroles for the cure? What about binders? Or juice!
In the commercial featured on their website, which stars Vicki, she promises that “every dollar raised at KillAllCancer.com goes straight to bringing awareness to charities involved in the fight against cancer.”
The Kill All Cancer website will raise money via bracelet sales and donations and is a totally volunteer-run organization. I suppose volunteers will help select appropriate recipients for donor money? “A separate foundation will be created to hold & disperse funds,” continues the website. “#killALLcancer will only donate to those meeting specific guidelines i.e. overwhelming majority of their funds must go to the intended people or purpose.”
“We will show every dollar raised, every dollar spent, & how it was used,” promises KillAllCancer. “This is a charity, not a business.” As of now they have submitted documentation for their 501c(3) status. It doesn’t seem as if they’re selling bracelets yet, (but you can request them?) although there is a link to donate.
Their Instagram page shows they’ve been involved with Susan G Komen’s Race For The Cure. Maybe they can get involved in Meghan Edmonds’ colorectal cancer charity?
Well for a company promising “transparency” you’d think they’d be a little more transparent about their mission statement and end-goal. Just me? I applaud Vicki for trying to help and redeem herself from the Brooks cancer scandal, but this seems a little befuddled – maybe she should have just done Race For The Cure instead?
