CC2 Forever Foundation ("CC2 Forever," "we," "us") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Lockport, Illinois. We raise awareness and research funds in the fight against glioblastoma, in memory of Connor Christian, and we award scholarships to local students. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- When you give or register: your name, mailing address, email, phone, gift or ticket amount, event selections (for example a golf foursome or sponsorship), and any dedication or memo you include. This applies to gifts by check, online donations, and event registrations.
- Payment details: online payments are processed by third-party providers such as PayPal, Zeffy, GolfStatus, and BidPal. We do not receive or store your full card or bank account numbers. When you pay by check, we keep a record of the check for our books.
- When you contact us: whatever you send us by email, mail, or social media messages.
- Scholarship applicants: the information requested in the application, such as name, school, contact details, and essays.
- Website usage: our site is hosted by Webflow. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, such as which pages are viewed, how long visits last, and the general location, browser, and device used. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies, and Google processes this data under its own privacy policy (how Google uses data from sites that use its services). You can block these cookies in your browser settings or with Google's opt-out browser add-on. Our site does not currently respond differently to browser "Do Not Track" signals.
How we use it
- To process gifts, registrations, and sponsorships, and to send receipts and tax acknowledgments.
- To run our events and scholarship program.
- To keep accurate financial records and meet legal and tax requirements, including IRS filings.
- To thank you and, if you're on our list, to share news about our work. You can opt out at any time.
- To recognize sponsors and donors, for example on event signage or our website. Tell us if you'd like to give anonymously and we will not list your name.
Who we share it with
- We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- We share information only with service providers that help us operate, such as payment processors, website hosting, email tools, and our accounting software. They may use it only to provide services to us.
- We may disclose information when required by law. Donor details reported to the IRS are confidential and are not part of our public filings.
How we protect it
Access to donor and applicant records is limited to authorized board members and volunteers. We use reputable providers with industry-standard security. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
How long we keep it
We keep financial and donation records as long as needed for tax and legal requirements (generally at least seven years), and other information only as long as it's useful for the purpose collected.
Children's privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information online. Scholarship applications from high school students are used only to administer the scholarship.

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your information, to stop sending you mail or email, or to keep your gifts anonymous. Contact us using the details below.
