Aetna has been a huge sponsor and supporter of CUREchief for several years now, thanks to a dedicated volunteer named Judy Lackey, who was introduced to us by a National Day of Caring  Day she showed up at with several co-workers many years ago at our CUREchief Volunteer Center in Cheshire!

Thanks to Judy, many employees of Aetna make CUREchiefs and deliver them around the US.

The Aetna Foundation has sponsored several events and have awarded us grants for many projects involving their employees.

This award is amazing and I am so honored to call Aetna our partner!  We all look forward for this  opportunity to spread HOPE this fall to those that need a little comforting…

Thank You!!!  to  Aetna and the Aetna Foundation and all of you that take part in this wonderful mission of ours~

Many Blessings and Happy Fall:)

Sandy

 Volunteers are a special breed of people.  They give their time, talents and often their treasures without ever asking for anything in return.  

The CUREchief Foundation would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every volunteer that has made a “Message of Hope” card; cut, sewn and packaged a CUREchief,  made a delivery , or made a donation.  Because of all your hard work  and dedication, we have created well over 150,000 CUREchiefs and these numbers continue to grow.

Thank you for giving your time, talents and treasures to the CUREchief Foundation. 

Joe and Charmaine

I have recently had bilateral mastectomies and am undergoing chemo
treatment and unable to work at this time so, unfortunately, I am unable to
donate at this time. HOWEVER I will share your website with my friends
and family in hopes that they may be able to help your cause as I was very
surprised and thankful, when my wonderful Nurse, Beth, at CT Multi-
Specialty gave me one of your CUREchiefs.
I LOVE IT AND WEAR IT ALL THE TIME NOW! IT IS SO BRIGHT AND
CHEERFUL IT REALLY HELPS TO LIFT MY SPIRITS. PLEASE RELAY
MY SINCERE APPRECIATION TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HELP TO
MAKE THIS GIVE-AWAY HAPPEN. After so much is taken away, it is
truly GREATLY APPRECIATED when something is given back to us! A
PRETTY CUREchief may sound small to others…but to me IT MEANT SO
MUCH MORE!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Sincerely,
Elaine
