A Message from Board Chairman, James L. Eccher

Dear Friends,
I am truly honored to lead a Foundation Board that is focused on inspiring philanthropic support for a healthcare organization that is such an asset to our community. We have embarked on an important Major Gift Program this year for the Cancer Care Center. With your generous help, we have raised more than $1.02 million to develop outreach programs, wellness programs, enhanced physician support, and community education for cancer survivors and their loved ones.

On behalf of our entire Foundation Board of Directors, we are ever so grateful for your sustaining support of our work for the new Cancer Care Center at Rush-Copley.

Heartfelt thanks for your confidence in our volunteer work for those experiencing cancer in our community.

Sincerely,
Jim Eccher
