One really good reason to attend our Rotary Club meetings on Friday mornings - besides the pancakes - is to hear from groups that remind you of how fortunate we are to live in this area. On December 8, our guest speaker was Tracey Destribats - one of three founders of I Believe in Pink, a local non-profit helping patients and their families with the financial challenges that accompany breast cancer.
Tracey told us about the assistance the organization provides through its association with The Cancer Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton and the Capital Health Cancer Center. I Believe in Pink helps pay medical costs not covered by insurance, as well as transportation to treatment sessions, nutritional foods, household assistance, and other items.
Check them out at www.ibelieveinpink.org and make a note to attend their annual fundraiser next October. It’s a lot of fun, and supports an important cause.
