What We Do
|
The Cancer Foundation League (CFL) has one primary fundraiser a year, a Gala.
One hundred percent of all funds raised are
distributed locally in Northeast Louisiana.
In 2010, we expanded our fundraising efforts
to include a 5K Run and the 1st annual “Theresa
Marsala Golf Tournament.”
Of the funds raised through these events,
sixty percent (60%) of the funds go to the
CFL for patient services to help patients
with costs such as medication expenses, transportation
to and from treatments, utility bills, medical
equipment, car notes, and mortgage or rent
payments. In addition, the funds are used
to help with our annual Christmas baskets
that are distributed to area patients we
have helped in the previous year. Forty percent
(40%) of raised funds are given to the Louisiana
Cancer Foundation to help with their programs,
such as support groups, providing 4 free
public cancer screenings a year, and grants.

Foundation, visit their website at www.louisianacancerfoundation.org.
To be eligible for assistance,
you must be
a cancer patient who lives in
Northeast Louisiana

Louisiana. If you qualify, you
