This group of friends met in Crosspointe in February to create cards to donate to Send A Smile Today. This organization was launched in July 2014 with the mission to let cancer patients know they are never alone by mailing them caring cards on a monthly basis during treatment. Last month 46 cards were sent to patients in 21 states. To sign up someone you know to receive cards or to find out how you can help, go to Sendasmiletoday.org. This service is free of charge and open to cancer patients of all ages. The group is already planning for another card making event.
