At The Max Foundation, we’re always looking for innovative ways to raise awareness and expand funding for our patient-centered programs. Recently, that search led us to a new charitable partnership with PopSockets – the phone grip we love.
In 2018, PopSockets launched Poptivism, a consumer-driven charitable giving program designed to inspire activism and philanthropy. Poptivism works by partnering with nonprofits to design and sell unique PopSocket Grips (PopGrips for short), then donating 50% of the sale of those PopGrips to support the nonprofit’s mission (that’s us!).
To kick off our participation in the Poptivism program, we’ve created five unique PopGrips – one for each of the five global regions in which we work. Named after cities in each region, the designs draw inspiration from the joy, vitality, and determination of the patients and physicians we support.
Please consider purchasing one of our Poptivism PopGrips today! With each purchase, you’ll help expand access to lifesaving cancer treatment the world over. Head to PopSockets.com to pick up one (or several!) for you and your friends. And don’t forget, once you’ve made your purchase, be sure to spread the good word on social media and tag The Max Foundation in your post!

Cancer impacts entire families, not just the person receiving the diagnosis. Salsabila was 16 when she found out her father had marginal zone lymphoma. She’s the eldest of three siblings, living with her family in Malaysia. Navigating her father Mr. Azmi’s symptoms and treatment was difficult for them. Despite these challenges, Salsabila continued to study….
One of the things I observed at Maputo Central Hospital was the level of comfort and trust between the physician and the patient. It is remarkable because until today the doctors had no effective treatment to give. And yet the patients came back, time after time, for regular check-ups, never losing hope.
Three years ago I made a decision that changed my life: to donate my birthday to support the work of The Max Foundation for as long as I have birthdays to come. Ever since I have been involved with The Max Foundation, every day I am witness to the courage of people faced with cancer, the generosity of spirit of those who become patient leaders, and the dedication of healthcare providers around the world. Join me today by honoring their efforts on my birthday, July 28th.
