How
Every dollar supporting local cancer patients through the Bob Perks Fund is a donated dollar. The Bob Perks Fund is fortunate to receive this financial support from many sources including community businesses, local foundations, individual and memorial contributions, and proceeds from our events held in local communities on our behalf.
Strategic Partners
Another source of donated dollars comes from our Strategic Partners, who play an important role as donors and ambassadors for our mission to ease the financial burden of local cancer patients by paying some basic living expenses. Without their unyielding devotion to our mission, funding to local cancer patients would be severely diminished. The Bob Perks Fund treasures the relationship with our Strategic Partners and is enormously grateful for their continued support for our local cancer community.
Special Event Partners
Special Events Partners make annual financial commitments to Bob Perks Fund through their sponsorships of Bob Perks Fund’s Signature Events. Partners chose their level of sponsorship they wish to support and then decide how to allocate their sponsorship dollars across all the Signature Events. Special Events Partners serve as role models in the business community by demonstrating how to make a difference in the lives of their neighbors who are battling cancer. Special Events Sponsors are listed on the left.
