Supported almost entirely by philanthropy and volunteers, Canopy is a caring community of hope, healing and empowerment with a mission to enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by cancer as well as those who support cancer survivors. Canopy offers a range of free services such as one-on-one counseling, cooking demonstrations/ teachings, yoga classes, massage therapy, a private dressing room area for breast prosthesis and bra fittings, a wig salon for individuals coping with hair loss and so much more.

Canopy Quest was co-chaired by Chardelle Adelson, a long-time volunteer at Canopy, and Annabelle Carrillo, Community Liaison for BMW of The Woodlands-Autonation. This was the first annual Canopy Quest fundraiser with all proceeds from Canopy Quest going back to the programing at Canopy.
