MCCSN's funding
comes 100% from the
surrounding
community, and most
all of that money
goes right back to
patients in the
lower middle
Tennessee area. We
have very low
administrative costs
because we have only
one paid staff
member, and that is
our office manager.
This position is
necessary because of
the large volume of
help requests that
we constantly have
to coordinate. All
other time is
donated by our
wonderful
volunteers.
Your
monetary and time
donations are a
precious resource to
us. Case in
point: we help
so many people out
with financial needs
that by the time our
walkathon comes
around in September,
we are almost tapped
out of monetary
resources. So every
dime that we collect
is vital to our
cause.
The Annual Walkathon
As mentioned before,
the annual walkathon
is a vital source of
income for MCCSN.
Without it, very few
patients could be
financially aided.
Organize a team in
your area. It costs
$50 per person to
walk. One way of
paying for this is
to get a business to
sponsor you as a
walker. Teams can
be named in honor or
memory of a loved
one or even with the
name of the
supporting business
or organization.
Also, honorary
luminaries can be
purchased for $10 in
the name of a loved
one who has been
affected by cancer.
These luminaries are
placed around the
stadium and lit
during the Friday
night memorial
ceremony.

form.
Volunteering Your
Time To MCCSN
If you ever thought
about
lending a
hand to your
community, think
about volunteering
with MCCSN. There
are many
opportunities to
help in driving
patients to
treatments, visiting
the sick, and
helping to organize
the annual
walkathon.
