Since 2000, RMCA has provided over $2.8 million in financial assistance to more than 4,500 cancer survivors receiving treatment in Colorado. Assistance from RMCA is for basic needs such as rent or mortgage, utilities, car payments and car insurance, health insurance and COBRA, and other day-to-day expenses.
In 2011, we were inundated with requests for assistance. When we closed the books on the year the final tally was just under $425,000 in assistance to nearly 700 cancer patients receiving treatment in Colorado. We work every day to fulfill our mission to provide temporary financial support to cancer patients undergoing treatment and we hope you will continue to support us in 2012.
Thank You to the JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation
A few of RMCA's Directors were on hand in late December to receive generous funding from the JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation. From left: Jenny Gruenhaupt, Ann Ryan, Edna Diament, Chris Steele, Chris Maupin, Steph Shulman, RMCA executive director, and Dan Ficke, president of the JoAnn B. Ficke Foundation. The support is a result of the 9/11 Give Back Day at Big Bill's NY Pizza.
