Welcome Aboard!
Crossing the Finish Line helps adult cancer patients, their caregivers and their families cope with the unyielding physical and emotional demand of cancer by providing a one week, expense paid respite excursion in a peaceful, secure environment. We aim to strengthen the hearts, minds and souls of these courageous individuals as they battle the psychological, emotional, economic and spiritual trauma that accompanies an unexpected diagnosis.
sail•or |’sālər| –noun
Our cancer patients are our "Sailors" and their respite are "excursions." To be considered for an excursion, a Sailor must:
- Have a physician diagnosis of cancer
- Be between the ages of 24-50
- Reside in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Delaware
View a full list of our Program Guidelines to see if you, or some one you know, can be a potential Sailor.
CFL's Change is Good Campaign!
Pockets always jingling? Not sure what to do with that loose change that's floating around in your car or between your couch cushions? Our new giving campaign solves these problems! Recently, Freedom High School, led by teacher Joe Stellato, raised over $11,000 for CFL. Each classroom collected change from students and teachers and the change sure added up. If you'd like to start a Change is Good Campaign within your own school (video on top), community or business(video on bottom), watch the videos below. To print out the presentation for school click here or for businesses here.For more information contact Amber at amber@crossingthefinishline.org or call 267-708-0510.
