Congratulations for reaching this page. There are many charities which would rather show large balance sheets that they have donated huge sums of money and have had medical research centers built due to the huge sums of money they raised. Sure, we’d like to say the same thing, but much of the Richard M. Brodsky Foundation’s mission is about easing the pain and discomfort of HIV-positive people and cancer survivors and giving them hope that they can participate in sporting events, even if the first event is participating in a 5K Walk. There have been studies shown which indicate that smiling is healthy for everyone. So if we can put a smile on the face of a person living with HIV or cancer, by presenting them with a basket of toiletries and any other gifts people would like to donate… I’m smiling just thinking about how we can have a positive impact on a person’s day.
For 2016 all toiletry gift items need to be received by June 5 so we can begin packaging and distributing these items at the June 12, 5K AIDS Cancer Run Walk and continue distributing the balance to the organizations listed below during the following week:.
