Tip #8 - This is It!!!

Hello Firstgiving fundraisers! This is the final week before our Support-A-Walk on October 2nd. Now, more than ever, we need you to make the most of your online fundraising page! Your page continues accepting donations even after the Walk, so it's not too late!

Here's what your fundraising brings to women with breast & ovarian cancer:

• Personalized support & information from our professional Peer Counselors who are cancer survivors.
• Monthly support groups where women can share and help one another.
• Wellness programs (such as yoga & meditation) to enhance healing & well-being.
• Educational programs with various experts (doctors, nutritionists, etc.) offering up-to-the-minute information on cancer treatment and health.

We also help family members & friends, and educate the public. There is no other organization in the Hudson Valley offering this array of services, plus we help people across the country via our toll-free number. So, we need your support!
