ROOTS & WINGS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

What they do

ROOTS & WINGS SUPPORTED THE METASTATIC BREAST CANCER (MBC) COMMUNITY WITH 100 COMPLIMENTARY ACUPUNCTURE & ONCOLOGY MASSAGE APPOINTMENTS AT RUSH CANCER CENTER IN CHICAGO, IL. THE PROGRAM WAS CALLED "WE SEE YOU. WE HONOR YOU." IT COMMENCED ON OCTOBER 1, 2020 IN HONOR of BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. THE COMPLIMENTARY APPOINTMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT RUSH UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. 50% of OUR APPOINTMENTS WERE DELAYED DUE to COVID AT THE END of 2020 and RESUMED IN 2021. ROOTS & WINGS CREATED POSTCARD-SIZED INVITATIONS for ONCOLOGISTS to "INVITE" RUSH MBC PATIENTS to PARTICIPATE IN THE COMPLIMENTARY APPOINTMENTS. IN OCTOBER 2021, RUSH CREATED A VIDEO SERIES PRESENTING THE EVIDENCE-BASED BENEFITS of EXERCISE and YOGA IN CANCER THANKS to ROOTS & WINGS FINANCIAL SUPPORT. THE GOAL of THE 15 VIDEOS is to HELP PATIENTS IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY of LIFE THROUGHOUT THEIR CANCER JOURNEY. USING EDUCATIONAL and INTERACTIVE TECHNIQUES, PATIENTS CAN BE MET WHERE THEY ARE and WHEN THEY NEED THE SUPPO
