Come Dash To Make A Difference ---The Baptist Health Karlyle Keith Young Cancer Fund

We thank you in advance for your participation and donations. Every dollar makes a difference!
This event will honor the late Karlyle Young that lost her battle to breast cancer in 2023. Known for her compassion and humor, Karlyle embodied everything that represents good in the world. Not only was she a beloved mother, wife and friend, she was a pillar of hope and a source of inspiration and support for fellow patients. Through many rounds of radiation, countless infusions of chemo and multiple surgeries, she kept a smile on her face – and on the faces of everyone around her. Her unwavering positivity, constant encouragement and compassionate support have uplifted countless individuals along their cancer journey. Karlyle’s tireless dedication to attending and actively participating in all the Baptist Health Corbin cancer support groups has been truly inspirational, as she consistently fostered an environment of hope, strength, and camaraderie among her fellow patients.
To honor Karlyle’s fight, her medical team joined together to honor the incredible impact she made on individuals establishing a fund to benefit patients of the Baptist Health Corbin Cancer Center. The Karlyle Keith Young Cancer fund will serve as a beacon of hope in the Baptist Health Corbin patients while providing funds to advance the cancer program to best meet the needs of the patients. Through this fund, Karlyle is continuing to make a difference for cancer patients from diagnosis to survivorship.
