Coming Soon:
It’s
time for our
Annual Appeal.
In the coming
weeks you will
be receiving a
request from us
to help support
our campaign,
our mission and
the programs we
provide to help
families and
their children
who are fighting
cancer.
Families who are
struggling with
this frightening
experience need
support in many
ways. The strain
of having a
child with
cancer coupled
with the
emotional and
financial stress
as many of you
know, is
overwhelming.
We need your
help. I am
asking you to
help us help
those of our
friends, family
members and
neighbors who
are facing this
uncertain time
in their life.
Whether it is
donating,
sponsoring an
event, adopting
Zig or helping
us to publicize
our mission to
groups and
individuals so
they can join us
in helping
families in need
any support you
can provide is
greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in
advance for your
support of our
work. We and the
families who
depend upon us
thank you!
