Cornerstone Bank is supporting families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer, as a sponsor in a charity golf event raising money for Why Me. The Worcester-based organization offers resources for families from the moment a child is diagnosed through every step of treatment and beyond.
“We are deeply grateful to be able to support such an important resource for our community,” said Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman. “The work the staff and volunteers do at Why Me offers families a helping hand as they go through unthinkable experiences. We hope our donation helps ease the burden.”
As a sponsor of the 2024 Why Me Golf Classic, Cornerstone donated $5,000 to the charity. About 120 people who share a passion for the cause gathered for a fun and friendly competition on October 7, raising a total of more than $75,000.
Why Me offers peer support for families with childhood cancer, survivors and those who have lost loved ones. The organization also runs a food pantry and offers meals and financial assistance. Volunteers help families with transportation, hospital and clinic visits, counseling and opportunities for entertainment.
“At Cornerstone, we know childhood cancer has devastating impacts. Our hearts go out to families going through that challenge,” said Tallman. “We salute the important work Why Me does every day.”
