Purpose in Planning: Addressing Legal and Financial Matters

In a recent interview, Christine Verini, Executive Vice President of CancerCare, discusses Magnolia Purpose in Planning®, a program that connects people affected by cancer to a library of personal affairs planning resources in a single website.

Verini joins Joanna Morales, CEO of Triage Center and partner in the program, to highlight the importance of ensuring those living with cancer, as well as their loved ones, are equipped with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions.

Individual Giving 

Did you know that making an end-of-year gift of appreciated securities - publicly traded stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares - has many benefits? It’s an excellent way to leverage our collective values toward making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals affected by a cancer diagnosis while maximizing impact. You will receive credit and an immediate income tax deduction and can even avoid capital gains taxes. Please donate securities or contact Eunice E. Hong, Director of Philanthropy, at ehong@cancercare.org for instructions on donating securities. Thank you for your generosity and steadfast support of the work that we're doing together.

Join the My Cancer Circle Community

Cancer affects family members, friends and others who are close to a person coping with a cancer diagnosis. It can be especially difficult and overwhelming for the primary caregiver, who is often tasked with coordinating help from multiple people. 

To help caregivers, CancerCare offers My Cancer Circle, a free online tool that allows caregivers to create a private, secure community that brings together their network of support.
CancerCare® is the leading national organization dedicated to providing free, professional support services including case management, counseling, support groups, educational workshops, publications and financial assistance to anyone affected by cancer. All CancerCare services are provided by master's-prepared oncology social workers and world-leading cancer experts.
