With the incredible potential
for growth of the Josh Cares Program, the Josh Cares Foundation, a
newly incorporated 501(c)(3), was founded in 2007 by Dan Pierce. With a
large, energetic board of experienced volunteers, and a vision to enable Josh
Cares at other hospitals around the U.S., The Josh Cares Foundation will be
assuming the leadership role for the majority of Josh Cares fundraising.
You can learn more about this progam and its service and growth at
this link.
Other smaller fundraising
opportunities (largely for JoshCares) are also being planned by this foundation for 2009. For the fourth year in a
row, the foundation, with volunteers, will man a "water station" along the
route of Cincinnati's Flying Pig Marathon on May 3, 2009. The marathon
water stations distribute water and Gaterade to the runners as they continue to
the finish line and is a fun time for all involved. Also, for the fourth year in
a row, we will also be fielding a team of walkers for the Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital Medical Center Walk-A-Thon in mid October
2009.
If you are interested in
participating in the event planning, providing sponsorship, volunteering, or
just curious, feel free to give us a call at 859-727-6339 or email us at
