Fundraising

[Joe]

We are one of the few bc organizations who do not actively solicit donations from our members nor does our homepage resemble EBAY, with all kinds of things for sale.

Over the years many members have donated money to our website and we are greatly appreciative of them. Again we do not follow up and look for subsequent donations.

Due to the economy, we expect receiving fewer grant dollars next year. I have been approached recently from several oraganizations requesting me to host surveys on our boards. As you all well know, we are open to any research or studies that may benefit our members.
I have consented to some of them with the condition that if their is compensation, they can either receive the money or donate it to the HER2 Support Group. I feel this is a painless way of supporting our efforts.

Also any "Memorial" donations will go into a special fund to provide scholarships for patient-advocates to attend the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium and the Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation's program.

Warmest Regards
Joe
