❤️ Sponsor a Build-a-Basket Event

Another great way to contribute to our Comfort Baskets™ Program is to host a Build-A-Basket event.

Sponsor a drive – ask your customers, clients or co-workers to donate items for our baskets and then host an event at your location where they can come back and build a Comfort Basket™ themselves to be distributed to local hospitals for adult cancer patients beginning treatment. They will also be able to write a note of support and encouragement to a patient to be included in the basket, too. It’s such a great way to give back to the community and you’ll find these events bring so much joy and satisfaction to those building the baskets as well as to those who will be receiving them! If your business or place of work would like to know more, please email us at info@gratefulfriends.org.

Sponsor a basket branded with your company logo! Here's how:
