It’s Giving Tuesday. Common Thread for the Cure welcomes support

LEXINGTON, N.C. — For today’s annual Giving Tuesday observance the Common Thread for the Cure Foundation is inviting the industry to support its efforts to help those affected by breast cancer with a donation.

The Foundation provides financial support through confidential grants to individuals affiliated with the design and furnishings industry. The donations offer relief in areas where insurance does not apply.

To date, the Foundation has awarded over $1.5 million in grants to nearly 400 deserving recipients throughout North America.

In addition to making a monetary donation on Giving Tuesday or any other time, here are other ways to support The Common Thread for the Cure Foundation:

• If you know someone affiliated with the design and furnishings industry who is currently battling breast cancer, please tell them about The Common Thread for the Cure Foundation and the grants.

• As a company, or as an individual, donate funds for one
  • Specify or purchase year-round sponsors’ designated products that benefit the Foundation
  • Ask the company where you work to support The Common Thread for the Cure Foundation through financial contributions, sponsorship and/or fundraising
• Attend, sponsor or volunteer at one or more of the industry fundraising events held throughout the United States
• Spread awareness of The Common Thread for the Cure Foundation to friends, co-workers and companies within the design and furnishings industries

This year, donate to its “Kay Kays $30 for 30” campaign, honoring the longest-living pancreatic cancer survivor Kay Kays. All donations support cancer research, clinical trials and the Pancreatic Cancer Support of Survivorship.
