HOPE CONNECTION
While the Putt Away Cancer Foundation seeks to inspire HOPE and make an impact on the Cancer community, we understand that we can not be all things, to all people, all the time. Individuals with Cancer have many needs that are each a priority. Most importantly are the rising costs to manage their health. While the families are preparing for the cataclysmic changes, other details that can get overlooked…especially for those battling this disease for the first time. One of our initiatives, is to provide a resource bank and build an extended support network for our Warriors. We would like to consider ourselves members of a very special village called HOPE. As a small non-profit organization, it is imperative that we put the needs of our Cancer Warriors first by building our own unique Circle of HOPE. This circle includes other organizations also with a mission to support the Cancer community.
