Humans are naturally programmed to avoid change. Yet in 2020, we had no choice but to face the unknown head-on. Each month presented a new hurdle and revealed aspects of our country that we simply couldn’t turn a blind eye to. We could no longer comfortably exist in our collective “normal.”
The pandemic may have streaked our faces with tears, but it continues to ask us to turn inward and reflect on what’s truly important. For Family Reach, this meant rising above the uncertainty to ensure our cancer patients would continue to receive critical financial support as they faced additional hardships.
Our team leaned into creativity and collaboration more than ever. We hosted numerous first-time virtual events, united Reach Athletes across the country, and aligned with partners who also saw the positive side of change. Our LiFT Network Members leaned on each other in new and expected, yet productive and lasting, ways.
As always, we put our families first, amplifying their voices to raise awareness and elevating our programs to meet their diverse needs. More than that, we used our expertise in navigating a health crisis followed by a financial crisis to offer guidance and valuable resources to people facing the financial barriers of COVID-19.
Through all of this, our supporters showed up time and time again. All of your generous donations, empathy, and desire to make an impact fueled our fire. The cancer community needed us, and we were there for them because of you.
We’re ending this year filled with gratitude and proud to share our 2020 highlights below.
