FTTF 2015 In Review

Huge gratitude to those who support our fundraising efforts throughout the year (2015) from the individual donors, corporations and the youth groups. This year over $17,000 was directly distributed to our patients and this was only possible through the support from each of you. 

Thank you to Cy-Woods Crimson Cadettes, CIC Boys Athletic Booster & Victory Lakes Boys Athletic Booster.... as your additional fundrasing efforts allowed us to distribute an extra $260 check to each of our patients (in addition to monthly disribution). This has proven to be a true Christmas blessing! 

Since we will soon close out this amazing year.... thank you as well to Marilyn Ames ( Bay Area Elite Realty) for your faithful and generous donations all year! 

We are always truly overwhelmed by the support and faith in our mission. This year has been a year of amazing growth for our sponsorship programs, our luncheon was outstanding and the tournament was a great success. But the greatest blessing this year has been able to serve and support our patients and families. Many have completed their treatments and for them we celebrated as they rang the bell, completed the last chemo, radiation or surgery. Others continue their treatment and for them we keep cheering them on and are honored to be part of the journey. And one we lost when her Father called her home... Lucy and for her we want to honor her memory. She was our 2nd patient we ever had and this calling FTTF has as an organization was exemplified best through the years of service and fellowship we had with her. She made us humble, she made us grateful and we are fully aware that she did much more for us than we could have ever done for her. 

So standing in this position is an honor but there are times it leaves a heart heavy. With faith, Gods direction and continued support- FTTF will hopefully encounter another wonderul year ahead! With this.... thank you to everyone who has been part of this ministry in any way in 2015!
