Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

KWF PROVIDES GIFTS OF FUN FOR WOMEN AND FAMILIES LIVING WITH BREAST CANCER. IN 2021, KWF GAVE OVER 275 GIFTS OF FUN. OVER 85 VACATIONS WERE GIVEN, AROUND 50 SPA DAYS AND THE REST WERE DINNERS OUT, SPA AT HOME GIFTS AND OTHER EXPERIENCES. THESE GIFTS ARE GIVEN AS A WAY TO GIVE A MUCH-NEEDED MENTAL HEALTH BREAK FROM WOMEN LIVING WITH BREAST CANCER. COVID19 SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED MUCH OF OUR GIVING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MAINLY VACATIONS, SPA EXPERIENCES AND NIGHTS OUT. AS THE US EMERGED FROM COVID, SOME AREAS WERE MORE ADVERSELY AFFECTED THAN OTHERS. SPAS WERE ONE OF THEM WITH LOW AVAILABILITY AND LACK OF AVAILABLE STAFF. AS KWF RESUMES AND INCREASES GIVING, WE WILL SEND ABOUT 100+ WOMEN ON VACATIONS, 100+ WOMEN TO SPAS AND OTHER GIFTS OF FUN LIKE CONCERT TICKETS, A NIGHT OUT AND MORE. 99% OF THOSE GIFTS ARE IN-KIND DONATED EXPERIENCES - INCLUDING DONATED VACATION HOME RENTALS, DONATED SPA DAYS GIFTED BY VARIOUS SPAS THROUGHOUT THE US, DONATED CONCERT AND SPORTS TICKETS, AND MORE. IN SHORT, WE LEVERAGE DONATIONS IN PUTTING KWF EXPERIENCES TOGETHER FOR KWF RECIPIENTS. THESE EXPERIENCES ARE DESIGNED TO HELP WOMEN, WHO ARE ACTIVELY BATTLING BREAST CANCER, LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. THE MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF HAVING "SOMETHING GOOD" TO LOOK FORWARD TO HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO ENERGIZE AND RENEW THEM, ENCOURAGING THEM TO STAY POSITIVE DURING THE DARKEST OF TIMES. KWF'S MISSION IS TO GIVE TO ALL WHO ARE NOMINATED AND REACH MORE WOMEN AND FAMILIES IN THE COMING YEARS. AROUND 30% OF OUR GIFTS ARE "LAST" EXPERIENCES THESE FAMILIES HAVE. WHICH IS WHY MANY FAMILIES CHOOSE KWF AS A BENEFICIARY OF THEIR MEMORIAL FUND. WE CALL THESE GIFTS FUNDS. OUR LIST OF FUNDS KEEPS GROWING AND WHILE WE ARE SADDENED AT THE LOSS OF LIFE, WE ARE PRIVILEGED TO HELP FAMILIES HEAL THROUGH PAYING IT FORWARD. MANY OF THOSE FAMILIES STAY INVOLVED WITH KWF BY HELPING US DELIVER FUN TO OTHERS.
