PURPOSE OF OUR ADVISORY BOARD Our advisory board of volunteers will make recommendations to our organization for recipient organizations to receive funds raised by our organization. These individuals are not directors of our organization, and they are not a true committee of our organization. Instead, these individuals have diverse backgrounds and life expierences and each individual will provide his or her unique viewpoint in advising our organization to select recipient organizations which will benefit a more diverse segment of the population effected by cancer than our organization might benefit if these individuals were not involved. We are pleased and honored to welcome them. Meghan Steinberg, President and Founder
