MISSION
STATEMENT
Caring In Our Lifetime is dedicated to raising funds and providing
financial assistance with medical expenses to individuals
in Horry and Georgetown counties affected by breast cancer.
***********
Caring
In Our Lifetime was founded in 1997 as a means for the sales
staff at Time Warner Cable in Myrtle Beach, SC, to assist
one of its former co-workers who had been diagnosed with breast
cancer. After the first year, Caring In Our Lifetime breast
cancer charity auction was officially formed to assist local
breast cancer survivors with financial needs.
Caring
In Our Lifetime’s board of directors is made up entirely
of volunteers and employs no paid staff. This non-profit entity
has minimal overhead and therefore is able to give approximately
95 percent of its proceeds back to breast cancer survivors.
More
than $200,000 has been raised over the years and the effort
continues with our main fund raising event being the Caring
In Our Lifetime Breast Cancer Gala. Our thanks go to Carolina
Regional Cancer Center who is a major corporate sponsor.
