Anderson Regional Cancer Center truly cares about its patients, many of
whom are facing the fight against cancer without the financial resources
that ease the physical demands. Many years ago, our doctors and nurses
created the Cancer Patient Benevolence Fund to help local patients; and
since that time we have expanded our efforts to raise funds for this cause.

It takes many people standing together to support the fight against cancer.
At Anderson Regional Cancer Center, our mission is to stand with each
patient, providing treatment and support.
The Cancer Patient Benevolence Fund was created to help local cancer patients
with special needs not paid by insurance such as transportation assistance,
prosthesis, medicine assistance, lymphedema supplies, and durable medical
equipment.
Throughout the year, many organizations host fundraising events that benefit
the Cancer Patient Benevolence Fund. If you would like more information
about ways to contribute to the fund, please contact Ginny Ruffin at 601.485.5081.

Christmas Tribute
One of the many ways donations are made to the benevolence fund is through
our annual Christmas Tribute event. The Christmas Tribute features the
ceremonial reading of honorees, to recognize ornaments bought in memory
or in honor of loved ones. As each name is read, an ornament is placed
on the Christmas tree in honor or memory of a loved one.
