I have been on the Board of BNPCF for two years. I have served on seven (7) not-for-profit Boards over the years, but none as meaningful and purposeful as Bear Necessities. This survey asks "Your role?" I am not only a Board Member, I am the father of a former "client served" by BNC; My son is a pediatric cancer survivor. The Bear Hugs/Small Miracle program personally touched our son's life. Bear Necessities so impacted us that he has served as the Small Miracles Ambassador at a Bear Tie Ball (2009), as a Volunteer Student Summer 2009 Marketing Intern, and I joined the Board. I have watched many sick children smile as a result of BNC over the years, and have spoken to many families touched by the work we do. I spend as much time as I possibly can promoting the good work BNC does, and trying my heart out to raise funds to support not only our Small Miracles Program, but the important Reaserch and Information Support Service Grants that we award annually. God Bless Kathleen Casey and her hard-working staff! Please support BNC.
