I remember seeing in the past a really touching story of the things ACS does with the funds that we raise with the HWC items. Like buying wigs for the ladies going through chemo, and getting rides to and from treatment so the husbands don't have to take off work so they can still have some income on payday. Does anyone know where I can find that stuff? Trying to gear up for a booth and we always get a lot of people that say "I already donate for breast cancer research" and I wanted to have a really touching way to say that we are differnt. :)
But I've been searching foever and I can't find it. Thanks in advance!
 
My understanding is that the HWC funds are breast cancer specific and go towards breast cancer education and early detection of breast cancer programs, not what you are describing.
The transportation to and from treatments (chemo, surgery, radiation, etc.) is done by local volunteers with ACS, they receive no monetary compensation for this. The wigs are donated new and used wigs and provided to patients whose insurance does not cover the cost of a wig and patients with a financial need. Both of these are available to patients with any cancer, not just breast.
 
The FAQs under Charitable Giving Programs, Help Whip Cancer will give you that info I did attach that. You can see that the 2011 FAQs does mention the wigs, transportation so...
