The Kathleen F. Marks Memorial Foundation
I'd like to take some time and introduce you all to a wonderful Not-for-Profit organization I have donated my talents to. I'll also share some work I have done for them this past year.
Founded by Crystal Marks-Schwer & Isis Marks-Kline, the KFM foundation is looking to help fund any and all active cancer research facilities. As they like to say,
"We HATE all cancer equally and will contribute our
funding to research of ANY type without discrimination."
Crystal and Isis are sisters, and started this foundation in the name of their late mother, Kathleen F. Marks. Their mother Kathleen was diagnosed with cervical cancer back in 1997. She was strong and reached remission twice in her battle, but sadly past away October, 11 2001.
With the love and support of friends and family they were determined to start a foundation to help cancer patients and their families in financial need get the information and funding needed. This dream finally came true in 2011, when the KFM Foundation was finally accepted/approved as a 501 C(3) Not-for-Profit Organization.
They now hold many local events and fundraisers throughout the year in Westchester County, NY. These events help fund cancer research, testing, trials, and vaccines. The foundation will also help cancer patients and their families in financial need through these fundraising efforts and/or grants on an individual basis. KFM will keep an open line of communication with local cancer treatment centers, doctors, and other charitable organizations in the area who choose to participate. Candidates would be referred to the foundation through a treating medical professional. KFM will host an individualized fundraising event for these individuals, with their involvement as well as their families. The proceeds for their fundraising event will benefit the patients.
Ultimately, their goal centers on finding a cure and helping patients and families in this pursuit.
Their biggest event, and sure to be the most looked forward to annual event, The Masquerade Ball was a hit this past October 2012. Who can resist a ball with fire dancers, rope dancers, masks, and gowns to raise money for the fight against cancer! Just looking at some of these pictures will make YOU want to attend next years event.
Here are just a few pics of the event. You can see more on their Facebook Page, link below:
