Cancer of Many Colors Details
Oftentimes individuals who are diagnosed with cancer are then unable to work, and end up losing their benefits as well as their income making it very difficult if not impossible to pay daily living expenses.Cancer of Many Colors (CMC) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization based in Lexington, SC dedicated to helping local Cancer Survivors, who are battling any type of cancer with their daily living expenses and emergency needs.Founded in 2014 by Paulette Criscione was created in honor or the Criscione family to help bring awareness to all cancers. Most cancers have a color associated with it. For the Crisciones, Paulette's father John died with breast cancer (pink) in 1981 and she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. Her brother Richard was diagnosed with leukemia (orange) in 2006 and died in 2007 and brother Jay, diagnosed with throat cancer (burgundy/ivory) in 2006 and died with bile duct cancer (kelly green) in 2009. Paulette was diagnosed with lung (white) in 2011. Hence Cancer of Many Colors was created. CMC takes the stewardship of public's trust very seriously. Money raised help support transportation costs, mortgage/rent payments, food, utility bills, out of state lodging, other unforeseen or unexpected expenses and emergency needs. There is never enough money for cancer, but your donation helps make a difference. There are not enough organizations that support daily living expenses in their own communities. CMC created a Small Gift Program for those who need help. Together we can make a difference!
