The Investor Collective has thoughtfully voted to support the following programs this year. We look forward to sharing the impact of your gift in the near future!

Patient Compassion Fund – Financial distress is a well-documented consequence of a cancer diagnosis, encompassing debt, hardship, bankruptcy, financial worry and treatment adherence. Your support will provide resources to kick off this new program to reduce the financial burden many cancer patients face, while also helping to expand and enhance our patient financial navigation program. This will improve patient understanding of health insurance benefits and out-of-pocket costs as well as provide financial assistance to patients in need. Cancer is difficult by itself to navigate without added financial burdens. The Patient Compassion Fund will provide that grace we all need in time of need.

Cancer Services – In our community, there is a tremendous need for support beyond treatment. Your support of Cancer Services enables us to help adults, children and families through the emotional, financial and physical burdens of cancer – always free of charge. From wheelchairs and prostheses to counseling and support groups, Cancer Services fills these needs in a way that no other organization can.

Genetics Program – This program provides genetic counseling and testing for individuals that have a high risk of hereditary cancer. Philanthropy will support the team members managing and delivering the program. Additionally, there are tests that are not covered by insurance for patients and their family members that would be an out-of-pocket expense. This program will help cover those expenses.
