A
s
of
February
2008,
the
Pink
SOCS
Foundation
Inc.
officially
became
a
501(c)(3)
public
charity,
but
we
started
raising
money
for
cancer
several
years
earlier.
In
2005,
a
small
group
of
us
raised
our
first
dollars
as
part
of
the
Avon
Walk
for
Breast
Cancer.
It
began
as
an
attempt
to
actively
fight
back.
At
that
point,
4
of
our
9
sisters
had
already
received
a
cancer
diagnosis.
Our
family
is
large,
with
34
grandchildren
and
9
great
grandchildren,
and
ever
expanding.
To
date,
we
have
experienced
the
despair
of
relapse
-
more
than
once,
as
well
as
the sadness of loss when our father and sisters succumbed to the disease.
T
hroughout
our
journey,
we’ve
had
the
good
fortune
to
be
able
to
count
on
our
family
for
support,
but
we
also
had
the
sad
realization
that
cancer
is
a
significant
financial
burden
–
even
for
those
of
us
that
are
insured.
It
is
our
hope
that
the
Pink
SOCS
Foundation
Inc.
will
be
able
to
assist
those
families
who
are
in
need
of
financial
support
as
a
result
of
any
type
of
cancer,
because
we
know
first
hand
that
diagnosis
is
stressful
enough,
without
the
added
concern
of
monetary
resources.
“
O
ur
mission
is
to
improve
the
lives
of
families
in
our
communities
that
have
been
affected
by
breast
cancer
and
also
all
other
forms
of
cancer.
We
raise
money
by
holding
charity
functions,
and
directly
donating
these
funds
to
families
in
need
that
have
been
affected
by
cancer.
Donations
are
also
given
as
scholarships to children who have family members affected by cancer.”
With your support, no matter how small or how large we can accomplish our mission.
Thank you sincerely,
Pink SOCS Foundation
