WOMEN MOTORCYCLISTS SUPPORTING WOMEN WITH THE CHALLENGES OF CANCER
The Mid-Atlantic Women’s Motorcycle Rally, a 501(c)3, is first and foremost about creating a positive environment for women motorcyclists. But, we are also concerned about women’s health issues. Our goal is to continue to raise funds to support local organizations that provide emotional and financial support to women that are battling cancer. It’s important to us that we find organizations that directly impact the quality of life – whether it be financial to support household expenses or emotional to assist the cancer patient or their family.
We have chosen two local organizations, H.O.P.E. and Pink Out that provide direct support to women and their families in our local Mid-Atlantic communities.
PINK OUT WOMEN’S CANCER FUND
Pink Out’s goal is simply to lighten the financial burden of women undergoing treatment for breast, cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. Oftentimes, the extra costs associated with cancer are an incredible burden for women and their families. The fund was established in 2007 as a 501(c)3 to assist with non-medical, daily living expenses such as rent, food and utilities and other items such as wigs, prostheses and special garments that are not covered by medical insurance. The last thing women should have to worry about is where money is coming from for daily living expenses.
HELP FOR ONCOLOGY PROBLEMS AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT – H.O.P.E.
H.O.P.E. (Help for Oncology Problems & Emotional Support) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their families through every step of their journey. H.O.P.E. provides compassionate care through the food pantry, home-cooked meals, educational resources, support services, cancer accessories, scholarships, and financial assistance; while offering comfort, connection, and a place to rest and recharge at The Haven. No request is too big or too small, if it alleviates the extra strain that cancer places on families daily activities, H.O.P.E. is here to help! As H.O.P.E. helps locally and across the United States, currently reaching patients in 27 different states. With our 300+ volunteers, generous supporters, gracious donors, every individual and donation builds something far greater than assistance; it builds a legacy of compassion, strength, and community that lasts for generations. https://hopelifeline.org/
