Hope-A-Thon Going on Now with New Day Foundation

New Day Foundation Launches $200,000 Matching Gift Hope-a-Thon for Families Facing Cancer

The new Hope-a-Thon fundraising drive is a matching gift challenge to raise money for the New Day Foundation for Families, a Rochester, Michigan based nonprofit co-founded by Gina Kell Spehn. Every donation made during the Hope-a-Thon will be matched by New Day donors, up to $100,000. The goal is to raise a total of $200,000 to fund New Day programs across metro Detroit.

New Day reduces the financial and emotional burdens of cancer patients and their families, providing hope and a profound impact on quality of life and treatment outcomes. Donations made during the Hope-a-Thon will be matched, doubling the amount provided to New Day.

 Monday, May 2 – Friday, May 20, 2016

Donate at www.FoundationForFamilies.org/donate-now or by check to New Day Foundation for Families, P.O. Box 81252, Rochester, Mich. 48308. One hundred percent of your donation will do to the New Day Foundation for Families, making it worth 200 percent.

Gina Kell Spehn, executive director and co-founder of New Day Foundation for Families, is available to discuss the financial impact that a cancer diagnosis can have on a family, and how the organization’s immediate help can often serve as the first light of hope.

“We are grateful to have the support of generous donors who have agreed to double every dollar we raise up to the first $100,000,” said Kell Spehn. “There has never been a better time to donate to New Day. This is a high impact opportunity to fund our mission to reduce financial toxicity and emotional burdens for families faced with cancer.”
