Help in Recovery...from Vandalism
Tax deductible
The Situation
Copper thieves vandalized Cancer Support Community Central Ohio. This destructive act left the charity that provides life-changing support services and education to cancer survivors with no air conditioning during one of the hottest periods of the Spring. The thieves may have gotten only about $20 of copper, but they left the organization with $30,000 in repairs and modifications, practically none of which was covered by insurance.
Cancer Support Community is looking to the community to help raise the funds so that we can focus our resources on helping those affected by cancer, including patients, survivors, family, friends and caregivers.
The Goal
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to cover not only the repair of the air conditioning units, but also the security structure to protect them from theft and vandalism in the future.
GOAL UPDATE: Thank you to participants at this year’s Charity Golf Outing for committing $5,030 to help offset the costs of replacing our air conditioners! Your generous support allows us to focus our resources on programs and services for people impacted by cancer. Our online goal has been updated to reflect the offline donations. It is now $24,970.
How you can help
As a community-minded organization, we know that it takes a village. We will be extremely grateful for any amount that you can extend to help us get past this unfortunate situation, and shift our full attention and resources back to supporting all those affected by cancer, at no cost.
