Manitouwadge Cancer Assistance, More Than $100,000 Raised
MANITOUWADGE, ON – The Manitouwadge Cancer Assistance Group was formed in April, 2007 by a group of individuals whose lives had been touched by cancer in various ways.
Once a month the executive meets at the Manitouwadge General Hospital to discuss future fundraisers and bring forward new ideas. We have in place a Constitution and By-Laws, which guide our decision making.
Our Mission is to raise funds so that we can continue to provide assistance to Manitouwadge cancer patients receiving treatment / or professional supportive care. When patients have exhausted all funding options such as Canadian Cancer society, Northern Travel Grant, or their personal or employer health plans, Government agencies such as Ontario Works / Disability our organization can supply some aid when funds permit.
Our fundraising and donations allow us to assist cancer patients with expenses such as prosthesis, prescription medications (when not covered by drug plans), oxygen, travel and accommodations while attending appointments or treatments.
Since 2007, thanks to the generosity of our community, many donators and volunteers, we have raised over $100,000.00 which has allowed us to fulfilled 183 requests for assistance to date.
If you, or someone you know, require assistance please submit a letter to:
The Manitouwadge Cancer Assistance Group,
Box 3034, Manitouwadge, ON P0T 2C0
or contact one of our Board Members: Anne Williams, Clare Milks, Debbie Ray, Priscilla Gray, Betty Oksanen, or Jackie Jung.
