This year we are celebrating our 13th Annual year of events, kicking
off with the big crop on February 16th. Over twelve years, we have
raised $100k+++. Every dollar raised went to help a family in need
through the Foundation of FirstHealth CANCER CARE FUND...thank you to
everyone who participated, volunteered, donated and shared the weekend
with us. We are so proud to be a part of a great community of women
and cannot wait to see you all this year.Ruth Lyman Watkins vision
began with the Cancer CARE Fund. Established in 2000, the Cancer CARE
Fund was the first of The Foundation of FirstHealth’s Community CARE
(Clinical, Advocacy, Resources and Education) Funds. Each of these
Funds provides support, hope, and safe passage for patients and their
families.
Last year, the CANCER CARE FUND AIDED MORE 350 PATIENTS WITH 46
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER FROM 15 COUNTIES IN NORTH AND SOUTH
CAROLINA. The patients received the assistance necessary to manage
their CANCER DIAGNOSES AND OVERCOME COMMON BARRIERS TO TIMELY AND
APPROPRIATE CARE. Learn more

Your generosity can help cancer patients and their families deal with
the many challenges of fighting and living with cancer. Here are just
a few of the ways your donation can help:
*
$25 - Assists with medication co-payments and affords medications that
are not covered by patients' insurance
*
$50 - Provides needed medical supplies, equipment and other services
and support
*
$75 - Purchases wigs/prosthesis/mastectomy bras/scarves and
nutritional supplements $100 - Subsidizes average patient
transportation costs for treatments and related appointments
*
$150 - Contributes towards funding of a program coordinator
For new croppers, your support of this cause will allow us
continue to fight CANCER AND HELP FAMILIES DEAL WITH THE BASIC THINGS
THEY NEED AS THEY HELP THEIR LOVED ONES BATTLE THIS DISEASE. Your
time, money spent at the event and donations given are 100% used
towards families in our community through the Foundation.
