Altrusa International
Bob Sanders was guest speaker at the Altrusa International of Warsaw meeting Jan. 19 at Richards Restaurant.
Sanders’ program focused on the Kosciusko County Cancer Care Fund. He said that the fund began in 1999 when a group of citizens banded together to build a fund to assist cancer patients in our county directly. Bob and his wife, Sharon, a member of Altrusa, have both been cancer patients.
The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance so patients can focus on treatments and recovery instead of worrying about finances. Well over $100,000 is given to families each year. Areas of assistance are rent/mortgage, utilities, car payments/repairs/insurance, food, gas, health/life insurance, medications and lodging.
The committee for the CCF organizes a gala, auction, battle of the bands, golf outing and other events to benefit the fund. Individual donations, estate gifts and memorials for loved ones also help the fund grow. Committee members are all volunteers, so all funds raised go straight to the CCF.
Altrusa International of Warsaw is part of an international nonprofit organization making local communities better through leadership, partnership and service. The local club has served the Kosciusko County area since 1973.
The club's next meeting will be at noon Thursday at the KREMC building, 370 S. CR 250E, Warsaw. Those interested in serving the community are encouraged to attend to learn more about the club's local projects.
