Philanthropists Issue Challenge In Support Of Bucks Cancer Center

BUCKINGHAM, PA — The Gene and Marlene Epstein Foundation is offering to donate up to $5,000 to the nonprofit Kin Wellness and Support Center and it is challenging Bucks Countians to do the same over the next week.

Between Monday, July 8 and Sunday, July 15 the foundation will match every dollar raised, up to $5,000, for the nonprofit center, which provides free support, fitness, therapy and integrated services to cancer patients and their caregivers.

The Kin Center announced the challenge this week and is encouraging residents and others to donate to Kin over the coming week to meet the challenge match.

“If you can do something to make another person’s life a little better because of your help, whether it is financial or physical, then both people feel better – the donor and the recipient. It’s a win-win situation and the more that you do it, the better you feel," said Gene Epstein in announcing the challenge.

“We are grateful to the Epstein family for their philanthropic contributions to our area and honored they have shined their light on Kin," said Kin's executive director Keith Fenimore. "Kin now cares for more than 450 Bucks County cancer patients and their caregivers. Our nonprofit, which is 100 percent donation funded, is dedicated to supporting our Bucks County community in
meaningful ways. We welcome donations of any amount to reach our incredible goal of raising $5,000 in just one week!”

Those interested in making a donation can either visit the website (www.welcometokin.org) and click the ‘donate’ button, OR mail a check made out to Kin at 2325 Heritage Center Dr., Building 113, Furlong, PA 18925.

Inspired by Bucks County resident Corinne Sikora, who battled both brain and breast cancer, the nonprofit center is free to Bucks County residents battling cancer regardless of where they are receiving treatment and welcomes caregivers as well. Kin also cares for oncology healthcare workers as part of its total 360-care model.

Free programs include nutrition, yoga, fitness, one-on-one counseling, support groups, workshops, massage, reflexology, reiki, chiropractic, acupuncture, and facials. Kin is a unique Center that looks to satisfy the emotional, social and physical needs of cancer patients. The success of Kin is made possible through generous donations from the local Bucks County community.
