KATHY TOLO, VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT, ANGEL FOUNDATION
As VP of Development, Kathy is responsible for oversight for individual donors and volunteers, special events, grants, in-kind donations and marketing opportunities. Her personal connection to the mission of Angel is that her mother died of multiple myeloma and her oldest daughter was diagnosed with invasive melanoma at age 22. Her daughter is doing well but Kathy knows firsthand how quickly a family sees the financial impact. The Angel Foundation was founded in 2001 with funds from Minnesota Oncology Hematology, P.A. Angel Foundation provides assistance to families under two programs (Emergency Financial Assistance and Facing Cancer Together). Emergency Financial Assistance assists families dealing with financial stress of cancer with non-medical expenses like housing payments, food, utilities or fuel. Facing Cancer Together provides parents and caregivers the tools they need to parent through cancer including education, social gatherings, self-care and relaxation, Camp Angel, Teen Outreach and one-on-one phone conversations. Angel has reached 19,000 families with $9 million dollars in assistance. For more information visit www.mnangel.org.
