Support Cancer Patients & Families
Book giveaways
We will be continuing a program that started in 2014 with Johns Hopkins to distribute "Kicking Cancer in the Kitchen" to patients undergoing treatments. We want to thank Guyette & Deeter for their generous donation in 2014 that helped us kick off this program and we are excited to continue in 2020.
A program that benefits individuals who are undergoing chemo treatments. The patient will receive a basket of small gifts, with the idea that on chemo days a gift can be opened that will bring a smile to someone's life. The gifts could be a book, lip balm, bath salts, natural soaps, comfy socks etc. and will include a personal note of encouragement.
Education
Health fairs and events where we share our mission and educate individuals/families about safer products and changes that can help create a healthier lifestyle.
Seminars that share information on cancer prevention. These could be hosted by Pushing Pink Elephants or done by an individual in their community or workplace.

Research in Cancer Treatments and Prevention

Natural Alternative Medicines – learn more about Mistletoe
