Some Additional Ways to Donate and Help

Give in Honor or in Memory of Someone. Remember someone deeply missed. Celebrate someone who has inspired you. Honor a cancer survivor, a transplant donor, or a caregiver, nurse, doctor, or loved one who has walked alongside you with love and strength. Let us know your intentions when you donate online or reach out to us here: contact@cysplace.org. You can also personalize a tribute in memory or in honor of them.

Host a Fundraiser – Organize an event on behalf of Cy’s Place, and contribute the proceeds to help families in need. A special thanks goes to all who participated in our recent Wagons of Hope fundraiser.

Pray With Us – We need your prayers.  Please join us in lifting up the families currently staying with us as they undergo treatment at Mayo Clinic. Pray also for continued funding for future phases of our work, for greater awareness and support from others, for wisdom and strength for our board and staff, and for every opportunity we have to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.

Donate Things We Use – We are always in need of bedding (blankets, sheets, pillows), bath towels, toiletries & personal care products, cleaning supplies, as well as household essentials like toilet paper & tissues.  You can also purchase items for us from our Amazon Wishlist.

Give Through Your Workplace – Many workplaces provide options to donate to non-profits thru organizations like United Way. Choose Cy's Place when designating your preferred organization, and encourage your coworkers to get involved, too!
