Wonder how many of the other survivors feel the same way. Fortunately, FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered supports both Ovarian and Breast Cancer so we have the offset with teal and pink. Thank goodness!
But imagine what good the monies used to buy the pink duck slippers, or pink mouse, or pink alarm pad and many other accessories and clothing, was to be donated instead of lining the purses of the big corporations.
FORCE has broken down where the funds go within the organization. I myself have benefited from a scholarship to the Annual JoiningFORCE's Conference twice. Please review the list and head to the link above as well as below the list, to send what your heart moves you.
Through monies donated by corporations and individuals, the following can be done:
$1,000 delivers the latest in BRCA research and information to 500 families.
$500 gives 60,000 visitors access to our website for one month.
$300 provides a scholarship to our conference to one person that could not otherwise attend.
$200 provides life-saving information to 100 people through our newsletter.
$100 provides phone-based support and resources via our Helpline for one month.
$50 provides a package of informational brochures to doctors offices and hospitals.
Donations to FORCE are tax-deductible. 100% of the funds go to the organization to continue our mission. Many companies will also match donations made by their employees.
Please ask your employer if your company has a matching gifts policy. FORCE Tax ID:
65-0927702
Once again, here is the link to the donation page:
I appreciate any and all you can do!
Love and hugs,
Beth
