For more than a decade, we’ve been flying with the Eagles as they help give wings to our mission of serving families facing pediatric cancer. Since 2013, the Fraternal Order of Eagles has been a steadfast partner in our work, and yesterday was another powerful reminder of what happens when people come together to lift others up. 🦅💛
At the Eastern Regional Conference banquet, $10,000 in support was presented to P.U.N.T. by their Eastern Regional Worthy President Elijah Louis Osmon and Eastern Regional Madam President Mimi Briggs. This incredible generosity will help ensure we can continue answering the call when families need us most. These resources will provide critical bill-paying assistance, easing the financial burdens that so often accompany a pediatric cancer diagnosis. To date this year, PUNT Pediatric Cancer Collaborative has delivered nearly $200,000 of financial support to WNY families. 🎗️💛
Our warmest thanks to Erica Ailinger and our incredible inspiration, Bryn, who shared P.U.N.T.’s mission and impact with everyone in attendance. Through their story, they brought to life what this support truly means: when P.U.N.T. helps ease the financial strain, families can focus their time, energy, and hearts where they belong: on taking care of their child.
People helping people. Four simple words that speak volumes about the heart of the Eagles and the difference they continue to make in our community and across the country.
To every Eagle who has chosen to soar alongside us for more than a decade, thank you for helping carry our mission forward and reminding families that even in their darkest days, they are not alone. 🫶🏻🎗️
