Cottage Dreams
To date, hundreds of families have enjoyed time away through the Cottage Dreams program but with 57,200 new cancer cases being diagnosed in Ontario this year and the growing number of placement requests, we need to raise the funds to continue offering families this much needed, precious time together.
The start-up funding through
the Ontario Trillium Foundation recently completed and we have
not been able to secure additional government commitments. As Survivorship has not yet
been on the agendas of either Federal or Provincial decision
makers, we
rely on private and corporate donations.
The links on the right of this page detail the many ways you can help.
Cottage Dreams was just named
one of the top charities in
Canadian Living magazines upcoming holiday gift guide and with 10,000 website visits
a week now, imagine the upcoming traffic.
Some of our new opportunities include
sponsoring The Ripple Effect webpage
or become a title sponsor (e.g. The 2008 Your Company
Cottage Dreams program).
Where my money
goes
All funds raised are used for the coordination of each
placement. This includes program costs such as insurance,
program coordinator/administration, end of visit reviewers,
visiting each donated cottage and raising funds and awareness
through the marketing & promoting of Cottage Dreams Cancer
Recovery. One of our goals in 2008 is to raise the funds to
create improved information technology in the organization with
a new software program.
Cottage Dreams
brings money into cottage country like no other charity
Unlike many charities, Cottage Dreams contributes to the economy
of each of our cottage communities through our visiting
families. Each family spends over $500.00 a week locally
on items such as gas, groceries, souvenirs, attractions and
restaurants. This means thousands of dollars are being
poured into cottage country across the province.
