Cancer Coalition of Southwest Colorado grateful to donors

Because of donations from community groups, we have assisted hundreds.

Durango and La Plata County live the truth that “it takes a village” to care for its residents. The Cancer Coalition, an all-volunteer group, provides the vehicle for funding, while Community Foundation acts as fiscal agent and manages distribution of funds.

The Cancer Coalition could not exist without the helping hands of Style ‘N’ Stones jewelry artists Cindy Scolfield, Dana Wilson, Nancy Macho, Carolyn Plested, Pat Lorenzen, Nancy Conrad, Basia Daney, Sally Wingate and Susie Fisher, all of whom donated 30% of their sales from the October event to the cancer fund. We thankfully acknowledge their kindness and assistance.
