Congratulations to Brad T., the grand-prize winner of our 50/50 Lottery! 🎉

We love awarding prizes, but it’s extra special when one of our own volunteers takes home the pot. Brad is one of our dedicated volunteer drivers, helping clients get where they need to go with care and compassion.

You really can’t predict the weather in May! We’ve been rained on before, and this year looks like it will be no different.

The CARE Walk, Run & Roll is still on, just because it’s raining doesn’t mean cancer patients stop needing your support.

Even if the walk isn’t your thing tomorrow, your support still means everything. Come by for the community, prizes, silent auction and to stand alongside local families facing cancer.

Skip the starting line if you need to, but don’t skip the impact. 💙Donate today
