INTRODUCTION MISSION The Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help alleviate the

WHO WE ARE The Cancer Foundation (TCF) is a local 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides emergency financial assistance for basic life needs such as housing, utilities, food and medications. The ultimate goal of TCF is to provide emergency monetary assistance to cancer patients living in northeast Georgia.

financial burden of cancer for eligible patients.

VISION To eradicate the financial hardship for all northeast Georgia residents who are diagnosed with cancer.

WHY WE WERE FOUNDED The physicians of University Cancer & Blood Center, LLC founded TCF in 2005 after treating a growing number of patients in need of financial assistance. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family suffers, not just emotionally, but also financially. Thus, the Financial Assistance Program helps alleviate a cancer patient’s immediate financial crisis and the debilitating stress that stems from their diagnosis.

TCF wants to improve the quality of life for cancer patients living in our community.

MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR "TCF is stronger due to our ever-growing community that donates in support of our local mission."

Dear Friends, Looking back on the past year, one word comes to mind: growth.

2016 was a remarkable year for The Cancer Foundation (TCF). We continued to meet the growing need for our assistance by approving every eligible patient that applied. Our dedicated board of directors, donors, staff and volunteers have done a tremendous job of expanding our outreach and assistance offered to patients, while strengthening awareness and fundraising.

In October, TCF reached an incredible milestone of providing one million dollars of financial assistance to cancer patients living in northeast Georgia. TCF’s sole focus is providing assistance to cancer patients when they need it most. While proud of this major million dollar accomplishment, we also need to recognize with gratitude the referring professionals who direct patients to our Financial Assistance Program.

Our spring fundraiser Cocktails: A Season of Spice also had a record year, raising over $140,000 in one night. We doubled our ticket sales with 400 attendees and had marvelous silent and live auctions. Tri to Beat Cancer Triathlon in August is now one of the top three largest races in Georgia. This year, we had our largest crowd todate, counting over 700 athletes and 200 volunteers.

In 2016, TCF kicked off it’s first-ever endowment campaign: March to a Million. Two generous donors stepped forward to make a $250,000 match donation. By the end of 2016, over $780,000 was raised for the future of TCF. With the substantial growth the Financial Assistance Program has seen over the past five years, this endowment guarantees TCF will help cancer patients through the decades.

Our constant goal is to help patients who are choosing between paying for treatment and paying their electric bill. Chemotherapy or food? Radiation or ability to afford gas to drive to treatment? Your donations truly make it possible for TCF to accomplish its goal and erase the questions. TCF is stronger due to our ever-growing community who donates in support of our local mission. We look forward to continuing the good work of 2016 in 2017 by helping even more local cancer patients through their journey.

Thank you wholeheartedly for supporting TCF. With gratitude,

Kimberly Liebowitz, Executive Director The Cancer Foundation

PATIENT PROFILES Betty Watson After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, Betty Watson’s social worker, Paige Campbell of University Cancer & Blood Center, referred her to The Cancer Foundation (TCF). TCF assisted Betty by paying her high health insurance premium. She had gotten behind on her premium because of the high costs associated with her cancer diagnosis and treatment. Betty says, “I was so stressed before you helped and so afraid of losing my insurance.”

Because Betty is living on a fixed income, our assistance in paying her insurance premium helped her tremendously. Betty was denied from other assistance services so without TCF, she said, “I would be sitting at home worrying about how I would pay my bills.” Betty wants people to know, “Please donate. Cancer is happening to someone and there is someone out there who needs your help.”

Betty loves to stay busy by keeping her two grandsons. She FaceTimes with her six month old grandson who lives in Washington every night, and watches her four year old grandson when he does not have school. Betty wants others to know that TCF really helps cancer patients and that if you are in need of assistance you should talk to your social worker and see what services they recommend for you.

“I was so stressed before you helped and so afraid of losing my insurance.”

Larry Wehunt Larry Wehunt started his fight with prostate and bone cancer in June 2013. In November 2014, Larry decided it was time to ask for help paying bills since the cost of traveling to Athens for treatment had drained his savings, and his family couldn’t help anymore. It was Athens Area Urology RN Clinical Coordinator, Glenda Rampley, who told Larry about The Cancer Foundation and what it could do to help him with emergency financial assistance.

“It was so quick. My sister helped me fill out the application and get it to my doctor, and the next day [Stacey] told me you were giving me a food card, a gas card, and paying my propane bill. My gas tank was sitting on empty and my propane tank for my house was empty, and I was afraid of not getting to treatment or not being warm. Then, The Cancer Foundation came along and paid that.”

Larry says the hardest part about dealing with his cancer has been accepting the diagnosis. “I’ve always been a do it yourself kind of person. Now, I’m having to accept that I have cancer, I need treatment, and that I can’t do everything myself—sometimes I have to have help. It helped me feel better just knowing The Cancer Foundation was there and willing to help someone like me, and other cancer patients, out.”

"My gas tank was sitting on empty and my propane tank for my house was empty, and I was afraid of not getting to treatment or not being warm. Then, The Cancer Foundation came along and paid that.”

Idonia Derrico Idonia Derrico was diagnosed with incurable multiple myeloma on October 22, 2014, after a flu shot injection site became painful with no relief. After a biopsy by Dr. Claude Sportes in Augusta, her cancer diagnosis was confirmed. He recommended an intensive and financially exhaustive treatment regimen of radiation and chemotherapy.

Idonia’s daughter, Shirley Fortson, decided to have some of her mother’s treatments in Athens and was contacted

by Athens Regional Health System social worker Lisa Riley about their need for financial assistance to help complete Idonia’s treatment. Since applying and being approved for assistance, Shirley said her mother “has not missed a single appointment and some of her tumors have even shrunk. We were struggling and The Cancer Foundation stepped up to help my mother get to treatment. You are helping the less fortunate.”

“If not for you I would have had to pick up more shifts from work which would mean my mother would have missed treatment.

Because of you, she was at every appointment.”

Idonia is deaf and Shirley has carefully handled all appointments, checkups, and medications for the past year for her mother. “After talking with Stacey at The Cancer Foundation I realized that we are not alone. You are truly here to help.” To The Cancer Foundation’s donors, Shirley says, “You are making a difference in someone’s life this way. My mother is the sweetest soul, our family backbone, and would quite literally give you the shirt off her back.”

Without The Cancer Foundation, Shirley says this past year would have looked very different. “If not for you I would have had to pick up more shifts from work which would mean my mother would have missed treatment. Because of you, she was at every appointment.”

The March to a Million Endowment will ensure permanency for TCF to support cancer patients and their families for generations. This endowment will be reinvested, guaranteeing the principle steadily grows and TCF becomes more effective helping patients with cancer.

Join our March to a Million and you can help financially desperate patients and their families get the help they need to hope again.
