Hello group! We have 3 announcements!
First, Susan Dusseau with Cancer Services Midland sent me some information about a new entity–Cancer Support Community–which is a partnership between two existing organizations, Gilda’s Place and Wellness Community. They are combining to form what will be a national organization that provides support and education at various locations across the country. If anyone is interested in more details, please visit their website here.
Second, we were informed about a possible fundraising opportunity for any interested agencies. Stephanie Withers of Cancer Services of Gaston County told us about Letters to God, a movie/documentary on a pediatric cancer patient. The production agency is offering a chance to screen the movie in various communities as a fundraising opportunity. For more information, visit their site here.
Finally, as we end this year and move toward 2010, we hope everyone is looking forward to our CANSA conference in September! We will continue to post updates about the conference, as well as updates on our name and mission changes. It would be great to finalize these before the conference, but if we need more discussion, this might be a good topic for the business meeting portion of that week. We will keep you informed.
We wish everyone a very safe and fun holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Please feel free to contact me with questions about the Letters to God movie fundraising opportunity. We are hosting this event in Gaston County, NC. It is a great opportunity for your organization.
