Dear Friends,

This year, Rhonda’s Kiss has reached a milestone as we celebrate and reflect on the charity’s first decade of work.

Our family did not know what the future would hold when we lost our wife and mother, Rhonda, to pancreatic cancer in 2014. The outpouring of love and support gave us the resolve we needed to honor her memory through a charity we called Rhonda’s Kiss.

Today, ten years later, Rhonda’s Kiss has built a steadfast community of donors who have helped us raise nearly $2.5 million for partner hospitals across the country. The funds make sure that cancer patients and their families have the financial stability and support they need to fight this terrible disease.

We do this work locally through a partnership with Cleveland Clinic where we have established the Rhonda’s Kiss Patient Assistance Fund. Our fundraising efforts have allowed us to give $1.3M to Cleveland Clinic which has translated into more than 2,000 patient assistance grants. The grants help patients maintain their dignity during such a difficult time by covering needs such as rent and utility payments, transportation, age and race-appropriate wigs, and more.

We would be honored if you would help us mark this special milestone by making a contribution to this important work. Every dollar you give goes directly to support cancer patients in financial need. Together, we can define this new decade as the one where every person has the resources they need to win the fight against cancer.

We are so grateful for your consideration and on behalf of the entire Stefanski Family, extend our heartfelt thanks for the many patients who will be helped by your generosity.
