Dear Supporter, Cancer has touched all our lives and it has certainly impacted my family, which is the very reason I choose to support The Cancer Foundation. This year, I am serving on their second annual Fire and Ice event committee. Fire and Ice will take place on September 24, 2020 in Monroe. I, along with my fellow committee members, am looking forward to a memorable evening that brings us together to support an incredible local cause. In celebration of this special occasion, I am asking that you become a sponsor. Last year’s inaugural Fire and Ice event raised over $20,000 for local cancer patients! The Cancer Foundation helps local cancer patients pay for mortgages, utilities, nutrition, medication and transportation while they are undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment. They are a one-of-a-kind charity as 87% of their funding goes directly to patients living in our community. The Foundation has provided over $185,000 to 340 patients living in Walton County. Sponsors of the Fire and Ice event will receive tickets as a part of their benefits. Additional tickets for the event can be purchased online at www.cfnega.org or checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 49309, Athens, GA 30604. Your $40 (per person) ticket includes heavy hors d'oeuvres, beer, wine and a specialty cocktail. The event will also include a silent auction. Your sponsorship of The Cancer Foundation shows our community that you believe no cancer patient must choose between lifesaving treatment and basic life needs. Since 2009, the Foundation has provided over $2 million to 3,400 cancer patients living in northeast Georgia. As the need for financial assistance grows in our community, your support is more important than ever before.
(706) 353-4354 www.cfnega.org
Join me in making a difference in the lives of patients in our community. On behalf of The Cancer Foundation, I would like to thank you for considering sponsorship of the Fire and Ice event. I look forward to your response and would be happy to meet if you have any questions or would like to discuss the event in more detail. Fondly,
Fire & Ice Committee Chair
