MAKING AN IMPACT A record number of 345 women have joined Impact 100 Garden State for 2019, representing an 80 percent renewal rate and 105 new members, the largest number since its founding year. Women work together to provide transformative grants to local non-profits in Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, and Union counties. Each member donates $1,000 a year and together they make the impact of a $100,000 donation. Over seven years since Impact 100 Garden State was founded, the organization has grown from 135 members to now 345 members, and during that time provided more than $1.35 million in grant money to 13 local non-profits. From left, seated, are board members Arleen Lipsman, France Delle Donne and Marcia Hunter, all of Morristown.

When Cancer Hope Network was founded in 1981, our work was innovative, cutting edge. There was no “Doctor Google” or oncology social workers waiting to help guide patients after diagnosis. Fortunately, things have changed.
Today, there’s more information and wider support for adults facing cancer. Cancer survival rates continue to improve and dramatic progress is being made. Despite this progress, hearing the words “you have cancer” is no less devastating now than when our organization was founded.
That’s where CHN can help. Each of our 400+ trained Support Volunteers is at least one year post-treatment or successfully undergoing maintenance therapies. They have faced more than 80 cancer types and speak 15 languages. Request a match or learn more about becoming a volunteer: 877-HOPENET CANCERHOPENETWORK.ORG We’ve got something for EVERYONE at competitive prices.
