NEARLY HALF-A MILLION BUCKS COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE CALLED UPON TO DONATE TO THE LOCAL CANCER COMMUNITY THROUGH
BUCKS GIVES A BUCK
Bucks Gives a Buck is a new ambitiously unique campaign designed to motivate the entire community of Bucks County to get involved in a meaningful way
January 2, 2024 – Buckingham Township, PA – There are over 438,000 adults living in Bucks County, what if all of them donated one dollar to support our local cancer community. Bucks Gives a Buck is the vehicle that will take that ‘what if’ and make it a reality. This campaign, launched by Kin Wellness and Support Center a non-profit that provides free care to hundreds of local Bucks County cancer patients and their caregivers, will launch this fun and ambitions campaign on January 18, 2024.
The good people of Bucks County will be asked to donate one dollar via the non-profit’s website at welcometokin.org or by mailing a check. The website accepts credit card, GPay, PayPal, venmo and bank transfers, making it very easy for those who want to give. Checks can be made payable to Kin, and mailed to 2325 Heritage Center Drive, Suite 113, Furlong, PA 18925.
Keith Fenimore, the Executive Director and Founding Member of Kin explains the genesis of the idea, “When I was kid my dad took me to Eagles games and the guys outside the stadium selling pretzels would scream "What the f**k, it's just a buck", that phrase stuck with me!
All these years later, I decided to take a less profanity riddled approach and ask my community to donate a buck to help our local cancer community through Kin, and Bucks Gives a Buck was born! It is a worthy cause, obtainable and accessible to most everyone in the county, and a very non-traditional approach to fundraising, which I love!”
Those who donate will be asked to ‘Pass The Buck’. This campaigns success depends on everyone who donates to share the campaign. A “Buck” flyer has been created so people can literally ‘pass the buck’ through social media. The dollar flyer has the website, mission and QR code to donate online. There are also window decals and banners that will be placed throughout the county.
Bucks County Commissioner, Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia shares, “Every one of us has been touched by cancer, this project allows our whole County to come together and show you are never alone, we are on the journey with you.”
