winter season

Always bring it back to the
mission. Many donors
want to know WHERE their
money is going. A great way
to tie this in is by giving
them suggested donation
amounts. Feel free to use
the following:
A donation of $25 provides
patients & their loved ones
with FREE booklets that
contain up-to-date info on
their disease and help them
make informed decisions
about their treatment
options.
A donation of $50 makes
possible a Family Support
group with a trained
facilitator where comfort
can be found and
experiences can be shared
among patients and family
members.
A donation of $100 helps
supply lab researchers with
supplies and materials
critical to carrying out their
search for cures.
A donation of $1,000 makes
possible one-one-one
conversations with health
care specialist who provide
patients with info about
their disease, treatment
options, and helps prepare
them with questions for
their health care team.
