THE QUILT PROJECT

Deadline: NOVEMBER 30, 2008 (RECEIVE)


THE QUILT PROJECT
Support for People Living with Cancer
Stratford, ON


THE QUILT is a charitable organization that provides you with a way to voice your support of Cancer survivors through action (viewing, making or buying a quilt and telling your story).

Objectives
The objective is to continue to raise funds to support increased resources for families and their supporters across the country in partnership with organizations such as Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation’s Survivorship program and with Wellspring. These caring organizations offer free physical and emotional therapies for survivors when they need it the most in a non-threatening environment.
