What We Do
The most rewarding thing we do is give money directly to colon cancer patients. There is no better feeling than to give your generous donations to the patients who need it the most. Cancer can be a very scary thing for a multitude of reasons and we would like to minimize the worry over finances and co-pays. While we can’t help the diagnosis that someone has already received, we can help make the mountain of bills that comes along with the process a little less daunting. Medical bills, prescriptions, time off work, driving to and from treatments, new nutritional needs; all of these things can very easily put someone into bankruptcy. We never want a patient to consider not going forward with treatment because of cost. We will continue to strive to reach as many people as we can with your generous donations. Know that you made this foundation what it is today, and what it will become tomorrow.

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed”
One of our favorite ways to give back is the making patients feel warm and comforted in their time of need. Especially though the tough winter months, the patients who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy find comfort and warmth in these crocheted chemo caps. We have a great team of volunteers that help us provide chemo caps to those who need them. Their compassion and love for giving back shows in every crocheted cap. We would not be able to do this program without their dedication and willingness to give, as they fund this program themselves. Thank you- Christine Delbene, Judi Kotch, Shirley McLain, Beverly Raybuck and Bob Wilson. The work you do in our foundations name is simply amazing, and we are forever grateful to have you to be a part of the team!
We appreciate your support and will always keep you updated on our progress of raising awareness and helping people who are afflicted with colon cancer.
If you know someone who may need our help, or know someone who is holding off on getting a colonoscopy due to cost, please email Care@ItsAGreatDayToBeAlive.org
It's a great day to be alive!
