Review for For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation, Plymouth Meeting, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with fundraising and friendraising for Crossing the Finish Line for 11 years, or since inception. CFL has been an amazing support for friends and family of loved ones with cancer. By hosting fundraisers it allows the community to "do something" for those adult cancer patients and their families as they face an uncertain future and diagnosis. Many of the organizations that donate to the auction portion of our fundraiser comment on the uniquness of the organization. While there are many cancer organizations that fundraise for research for a cure for cancer... CFL is able to assist those with cancer NOW who might not benefit from the research.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Seeing the impact of strangers helping other strangers who are facing cancer. CFl staff work on a tight budget to send as many patients away as possible.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

More funds to allow CFL to go national and to have more staff.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Meeting the patients who have traveled on respite vacations.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Generous and supportive.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Support more adult cancer patients around the united states.

Ways to make it better...

hired more staff.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Raising corporate sponsorship.
