Friends of River Fund Cancer Connection was established in 2018 to provide year-around fundraising to assist local cancer patients and to raise cancer awareness. Homemade canned goods and handmade bracelets are offered to raise funds to provide medication, doctor co-pays, transportation and other necessities to help cancer warriors in the Tri-state area.
CARING AND COMPASSIONATE HELP FOR CANCER WARRIORS
