Yes.  The Center devotes its resources to helping people with cancer, promoting cancer awareness, offering access to free cancer screenings, and offering activities that will benefit everyone. Your donations will not only enable us to continue our current activities that support these goals, but will also allow us to develop new programs that will support the people who reach out to the Center's community.

In order to promote the goals of the Center we need more people aware of, involved in and engaged with what we do. Not everyone has the time to volunteer but by donating to the Center you support current programs and can be assured that your gift stays in your community supporting local people with cancer.

We also believe it's important for people with cancer, their families and loved ones, and cancer survivors to be able to develop their own identities and build their own communities of people who support each other. Your donations can help such activities undertake new activities to better serve their users.

More information about the Cancer Resource Center can be found on our homepage www.crcfl.net
