Ray Hutton has a unique perspective on the Cancer Assistance Program. He has been a Director of the Board for nearly two years and he is also a donor. Through the Hutton Family Fund – a Donor Advised Fund established through the Hamilton Community Foundation - CAP can now count on a regular source of funding to grow their recently established Endowment Fund. It means that as the investment grows and generates money, CAP receives a portion of the dividends to help pay for operating expenses over the long-term and support the vital programs and services on which cancer patients in the community have come rely on. “It’s mine and my family’s way of giving back to the community,” said Ray. The family includes his mom Eileen, dad John, sisters Camille and Jane and wife Caroline. Each contribute to the Family Fund’s decision-making. “We have regular family council meetings with my parents, siblings and wife to talk about philanthropy,” Ray adds.
