Help Us Meet The Challenge
The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation has presented The Wellness Community - Greater Washington, DC with a challenge. If we raise $10,000 in general operating support by the end of this year, they will match it. We need to raise these funds in direct contributions, not through special events. We are grateful to the foundation for their on-going support and for this opportunity.
At The Wellness Community, we provide all of our programs for people with cancer and their loved ones free of charge. Raising the funds to support our operations is challenging under the best circumstances. Faced with the current economic crisis facing us all, fundraising has been increasingly difficult.
We look at this challenge as being our own stimulus package. We hope it will stimulate you to make a tax-deductible contribution to help us meet the challenge. Please give generously by clicking here.
Cancer Care for the Whole Patient
The 2007 Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report - Cancer Care for The Whole Patient, indicates that every cancer patient and their family should receive cancer care that provides appropriate psychosocial services. The Wellness Community ensures that these non-medical needs are met as people learn to truly LIVE with cancer. To read the report online, go to www.iom.edu.
