RiverBend Cancer Services

Great Lakes Heating & Air Conditioning has been an incredible friend to RiverBend and to the people and families who turn to us for support.

Year after year, they continue to show up for our community with generosity, compassion, and a genuine desire to help others. Their kindness has helped put food on tables, ease financial worries, restore confidence through wigs and personal care, and create opportunities for wellness, learning, emotional support, and meaningful connections with fellow survivors. Through it all, they've helped bring comfort, dignity, and a sense of community to people living with cancer and their families.

We are beyond grateful!

A heartfelt thank you to our friends Everwise Credit Union for their generous $5,000 gift in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Cancer affects so much of a person’s life, including finances, emotional well-being, sense of self, and more. The kindness and compassion of our community helps us continue to support and help improve the quality of life of people living with cancer and their families during some of the hardest seasons of their lives.

💗🎗️ Earlier this month, we shared how Everwise is recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month by supporting organizations that help ensure no one faces cancer alone.

This week, we had the opportunity to visit RiverBend Cancer Services and present a $5,000 donation in support of its mission. RiverBend provides hope, guidance, wellness programs, counseling, and direct assistance to cancer survivors and their families throughout our community.

Seeing their impact first-hand was a powerful reminder that community support can make all the difference during life's most challenging moments. 💜

When our priority is supporting people living with cancer, survivors, and their families, building updates wait.

For more than a decade, RiverBend’s Wellness House has been a place where people can find comfort, connection, wellness programs, and support services to help them face and move through some of life’s hardest seasons. Over those ten-plus years, our building has naturally aged in ways that now require our attention, and it's time to invest a little love and care back into it.

We are grateful to 1st Source Bank Foundation for their generous $25,000 contribution toward our Wellness House Renovations & Improvements Project. Their generosity helps make these updates possible so the Wellness House can continue to be a warm, welcoming place for people living with cancer, survivors, and their families in our community.

On July 16, we gathered at the Beiger Mansion for Jazz Around the Bend to honor and celebrate Cari and Barry Shein for their extraordinary support of people living with cancer, survivors, and their families in our community.

We recently received the photos from that night and enjoyed looking back at the many moments that made it so special.

Throughout the evening, we were reminded that while cancer can change everything, the support someone has along the way can change everything, too.

Every day we see how the right support at the right moment can improve the way someone is able to face and move through one of the hardest seasons of their life.

People living with cancer, survivors, and their family members can walk into our Wellness House and access counseling services, financial assistance, wellness programs, and more, completely free, because of the generosity of friends like Cari and Barry, and because of the generosity of so many in our community.

A huge thank you to our friends from Beacon Health for rolling up their sleeves and helping refresh RiverBend’s backyard and labyrinth! Their hard work helps keep our gardens a beautiful and calming space where survivors and their families can connect with nature and each other.
