"​Bucks Gives A Buck" Campaign Kicks-Off For County Cancer Patients

BUCKINGHAM TOWNSHIP, PA – There are more than 438,000 adults living in Bucks County. What if all of them donated one dollar to support the local cancer community?

The nonprofit Kin Wellness and Support Center has launched a new campaign, "Bucks Gives a Buck," that will take that ‘what if’ and make it a reality.

The fun and ambitious campaign will run from now through the end of February 2024.

During the campaign, the good people of Bucks County will be asked to donate one dollar via the non-profit’s website at welcometokin.org or by mailing a check. The website accepts credit card, GPay, PayPal, venmo and bank transfers, making it very easy for those who want to give. Checks can be made payable to Kin, and mailed to 2325 Heritage Center Drive, Suite 113, Furlong 18925.

“When I was kid my dad took me to Eagles games and the guys outside the stadium selling pretzels would scream, 'What the f**k, it's just a buck.' That phrase stuck with me," said Keith Fenimore, the executive director and founding member of Kin in explaining the genesis of the idea. "All these years later, I decided to take a less profanity riddled approach and ask my community to donate a buck to help our local cancer community through Kin, and Bucks Gives a Buck was born! It is a worthy cause, obtainable and accessible to most everyone in the county, and a very non-traditional approach to fundraising, which I love!”

Those who donate will be asked to ‘Pass The Buck’. This campaign's success, said Fenimore, depends on everyone who donates to share the campaign.

A “Buck” flyer has been created so people can literally ‘pass the buck’ through social media. The dollar flyer has the website, mission and QR code to donate online. There are also window decals and banners that will be placed throughout the county.

“Every one of us has been touched by cancer, this project allows our whole County to come together and show you are never alone, we are on the journey with you," said Bucks County Commissioner Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia.

Kin is an all-inclusive Wellness and Support Center that cares for more than 400 local Bucks County cancer patients providing free services to them and their caregivers. As a nonprofit, all donations to Kin are tax deductible.

"Bucks Gives a Buck" has the support of talented minds behind-the-scenes helping to bring the vision to life. Special thanks to: Mike Strigl, Stefan Boublil & Gina Alverez (The Apt.), Dave Douglas (ebow) & Courtney Taylor (Taylor Outfitters) and Chris Millili.
