Cancer Warrior Care Packages
Donation protected
Over the last 2 years I have been honoring my late husband Marcus Taylor by raising money and collecting donations to gift Cancer Warrior Care Packages. This has been a way to honor his legacy and his true gift of having a heart of giving. My goal is to positively impact those that are adjusting to life while on their cancer journey. These gifts are for both the cancer warriors and their caregivers.
The holidays are especially difficult for those that are currently on this journey and those who have lost loved ones. Over the last 2 years with a lot of help and donations we have been able to gift over 250 care packages. Many of those packages have been given to friends and family who know someone with cancer including many of our JE Dunn family members.
Care Packages will be delivered in Atlanta, Nashville and Minnesota. Due to some Covid-19 restrictions it will look different this year but they need us now more than ever. If you have someone special that you would like a care package for I would be happy to give one to you personally.

For those of you that didn’t know Marcus here is just a little bit about him:
“Marcus Taylor started working at JE Dunn in 2005 in the Charlotte office before transferring to Atlanta. Marcus was an endurance athlete who was always ready for the next adventure and truly lived life to its fullest. He was incredibly dedicated to his family, friends, JE Dunn and wife Elizabeth. Marcus was diagnosed with a rare form of Appendix Cancer June 24, 2014. After Marcus' diagnosis he fought the tough battle with grace and made an impact on everyone who crossed his path. Marcus passed away December 26, 2017. Marcus was a true inspiration to everyone that had the chance to meet him.”
