NEW DAY WELCOMES THREE NEW MEMBERS TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
We're growing - and so is our Board! 2021 marked the third straight year that New Day Foundation’s revenue surpassed $1 million. Having served 40 percent more patients, caregivers and family members in 2021 than 2020, the Foundation is now on track to serve more than 2,600 people in 2022.
“I have never been more encouraged about the future for families who are facing cancer,” said Co-founder and President Gina Kell Spehn. “Our board is comprised of caring, committed and connected individuals willing to lend their expertise to our community. Although we can’t change a diagnosis, we can offer programs and services that directly impact the outcome. New Day is redefining the cancer experience by removing major obstacles on the road to remission.”
