Ingrid (at right) brought light to so<br />
many lives. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund was<br />
there for my entire family while we<br />
fought cancer together as a team.<br />
It’s my pleasure to serve on the<br />
<strong>Ellie</strong> Fund Board of Directors and<br />
support local families who are<br />
”<br />
fighting breast cancer.<br />

“<br />
Breast cancer at the age of 28 with<br />
two children ages 2 ½ and 3 weeks<br />
old was overwhelming.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund provided us with the<br />
hope, reassurance and resources we<br />
needed to focus on recovery and the<br />
things that truly mattered in our life.<br />
It is an honor to now be<br />
a Board Member and to help others<br />
”<br />
as I was helped.<br />

Our Mission<br />
TO FIGHT BREAST CANCER AND EASE ITS EFFECTS ON<br />
WOMEN & FAMILIES ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund was founded by Jeff Popkin in 1995 to honor the<br />
memory of his mother’s fight against breast cancer and the giving<br />
spirit she was known for throughout her life.
“<br />
My mother was the most giving<br />
person I’ve ever known.<br />
I am honored that the <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund<br />
has grown to be one of the most<br />
well-respected cancer support<br />
programs in the state, and am<br />
deeply touched by everyone who<br />
”<br />
joins us in the fight for hope.<br />

“<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund is the sister, best<br />
friend, mother you’d want living next<br />
to you.<br />
When my mother (at left) was<br />
diagnosed with breast cancer two<br />
years ago, managing her care from<br />
3,500 miles away was really<br />
challenging.<br />
I am honored to carry on <strong>Ellie</strong>’s<br />
legacy. No one should have to go<br />
through breast cancer alone and<br />
every family should have support.<br />
”
When you donate to the <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund, you directly benefit<br />
a local family. You never have to worry about<br />
where your money is going.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund does one thing and does it well.<br />
We fight breast cancer.<br />
We do not discriminate. We do not play politics.<br />
We provide personalized care in a<br />
timely manner completely free of charge.<br />
We make a difference.

I am privileged to be part of the <strong>Ellie</strong><br />

means to care. By easing some of<br />
the day-to-day stress for our<br />
patients, the whole family is<br />
nurtured and supported.<br />
I am honored to be part of this<br />
organization. We are one friend<br />

As a member of the planning<br />
committee for the first annual Kelley<br />
for <strong>Ellie</strong> event, I recognized the spirit,<br />
love and hope the <strong>Ellie</strong> Fund instilled<br />
in their patients while they were<br />
undergoing the grueling process of<br />
treatment.<br />
I knew immediately that I wanted to<br />
be an integral part of this<br />
extraordinary organization which,<br />
with compassion, warmth and<br />
generosity, eases the intense burden<br />
of treatment for patients and their<br />
families.<br />

I understand that a<br />
hardship is not felt by just<br />

I am honored to work for<br />
an organization that<br />
recognizes an individual<br />
doesn’t get cancer, a family<br />
does.<br />
