Contributions
Every time you make a monetary gift to the Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley, you restore someone’s sense of hope, reduce someone’s emotional and physical isolation, diminish someone’s stress, and help someone become better educated about his or her cancer care.
We depend on the generous contributions from individuals, businesses and charitable foundations to help us achieve our mission. All funds donated to the organization stay in the Greater Lehigh Valley (six-county serving area) to support our work of providing free supportive and educational programs to people affected by cancer. Every gift, any amount, helps to make a difference in the organization’s efforts to provide a better quality of life for people in our community.
The Cancer Support Community accepts direct gifts by cash, check, and credit card. Your unrestricted gift allows us to apply funds where they are most needed to support our programs. However, we will gladly accept designations to a specific program, as well as honorariums and memorials. Contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law. All contributions will be acknowledged in writing.
