U.C.A.R.E
Sun ,27/09/2009
I met an amazing man today, but forgot, like the winner that I am, to ask his name. He had been sitting in front of the Walmart entrance since 9 A.M (it was 5 p.m by the time I made his acquaintance) taking up donations for a remarkable organization.
One that I didn’t even know existed, but since hearing about it, I can say that I am beyond proud to be a residence of the Charlotte metro area.
The organization? U.C.A.R.E (United Cancer Alliance Reaching Everyone).
Their Mission Statement as taken from U.C.A.R.E:
“United Cancer Alliance Reaching Everyone, Inc. (U.C.A.R.E.) is a non-profit organization, founded in Concord, NC and is based in Charlotte, NC. U.C.A.R.E. was organized to provide financial assistance to individuals and the families of individuals receiving cancer treatment in the Charlotte, North Carolina Metropolitan Area and vicinity.”
How can you help? Well, I’m glad that you asked!
* You can DONATE to the cause
* You can Volunteer to help spread the word and collect donations
* If you own or operate a business, you can become a Sponsor
You don’t have to live in or around the Charlotte, NC. Metro area to help, donations are accepted from all over.
The only requirement is that you have a giving heart.
It’s beautiful when people reach out to help those in their community, see, there IS good in this world, you just have to look a little closer.
