Cancer Research Institute - Ways to Donate to Cancer Research Institute - 0 views

  • Cash gifts: The most convenient way to give to CRI.  You can donate online securely or by phone with your credit card, or you can mail a check to us made payable to "Cancer Research Institute." Memorial & tribute gifts: Donating to cancer research in memory of a loved one, in support of another's courageous battle with cancer, or in honor of any occasion can be a thoughtful and appropriate way to remember others. Employer matching gifts: Employer matching gift programs can increase your giving to CRI by double or more. Our convenient employer MatchFinder will allow you to see if your employer matches your charitable donations. Securities donations: Gifts of stocks, bonds, and other securities can be of significant benefit to our programs while also providing you tax advantages. Car and other vehicle donations: Donate an old car or vehicle (boat, campers, etc.).  We'll arrange to have your vehicle picked up, and the proceeds from the sale of your used vehicle will benefit our research programs. Planned giving options: Naming CRI in your will or estate plans, including charitable annuities and trusts as well as life insurance and retirement plan gifts, can offer both you and CRI significant financial advantages. Payroll deduction: Employees can provide ongoing support through regular payroll deductions, especially if their companies provide matching gifts.

Heather Baker Foundation - Our Story - 0 views

  • Shortly after giving birth to her youngest son, Heather was diagnosed with a rare type of sub-breast cancer called triple negative. Triple negative victimizes primarily younger women…..only 10-20% of breast cancer victims are diagnosed with this sub type. Extensive treatments, radiation, and surgeries were attempted to prolong her life, but sadly March 8th, 2010, after fighting like a true champion, through tremendous pain and discomfort, she lost her fight to cancer.
  • Although Heather may not be here with us today, we want to share her spirit of selflessness and love for families and bless other families going through a similar situation. Through all the pain, discomfort and hardships that are brought on by this horrible disease, we want to share a bit of hope through Heathers story. Amongst the pain, she always had a smile upon her face…… Have courage, be strong, and strive for one more day!
