Growing a beard will most likely be akward and anoying at times but it will also be a daily reminder of why I decided to do it. That is to harness some of my own money and hopefully donations from others as well to help those who are struggling to battle cancer. We have all been touched by this terrible disease and I can't imagine experiencing it let alone to having to worry about how to get to your doctors appointment, or afford your rent payment because you've been on short-term disability while getting treatment, or even know where to go for support. So many people go at this alone and with out help. The Ulman Cancer Fund was set up to provide that help and have Ambassadors located in 5 of the areas hospitals to be that link to support. Please consider helping out our community by donating.
Here is an idea of what your money can do!
$25 will pay for transporting a patient to a doctor’s appointment
$50 will pay to keep a patient’s lights and power on during treatment
$75 will pay for three hours of our Navigator’s time working with patients and families
$100 will pay for our patient navigators to facilitate a monthly support group
$200 will pay to help preserve a young adult’s fertility prior to starting treatment
$500 will pay for our Navigator to meet and work with five new patients and their families
$1,000 will pay for gas cards to help 40 patients get to treatment
$1,500 will pay to distribute guidebooks to 428 newly diagnosed cancer patients
$2,500 will pay for a scholarship to send a young adult facing cancer to college
$5,000 will pay to feed and support 90 college students as they ride their bikes cross-country with 4K for Cancer
$10,000 will help us start another Patient Navigation program at a cancer center
Please join us in the 1st Annual Beard Off benefiting the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults (UCF).
Grow your beard and sign up for a fundraising page to help UCF change lives by creating a community of support
for young adults, and their loved ones as they fight cancer and embrace survivorship.
