People who are diagnosed with cancer face tremendous physical, emotional, and financial challenges. While each of these factors can be overwhelming, it is the financial burden that can cause undue stress at a time when the patient needs to focus on hope, health, and healing. To help ease this burden, eligible cancer patients can apply for financial assistance from the Cancer Center Patient Resource Fund. Gifts in any amount to this fund make a positive, practical, difference in the lives of individual cancer patients.

Through donations made to this fund, the Foundation has been able to assist eligible Blount Memorial’s Cancer Center’s patients with gas cards to commute to and from treatment. We would like to say “Thank You” to KenJo Markets/Downey Oil who partner with the Foundation to provide fuel cards to patients in need.
Here are just two examples of how this Fund helped patients through treatment:
