Though we weren’t able to have the Emerald Eve this month, thanks to your generosity and hard work, the Donna M. Crandall Foundation has still managed to raise over $90,000 this year to date! We wanted to share our thanks for everything you do to support us in these unusual times. We could not do it without you!

How We Help
Gift Bag Program
Each CF patient admitted to Albany Medical Center receives a special canvas tote filled with items specifically selected to make a hospital stay more bearable.
Financial Assistance
The Foundation’s ongoing effort to help make life with CF a little more tolerable, it is also our privilege to be a resource to those with specific, significant financial challenges.
Hospital Room Expenses
The Foundation pays for miscellaneous hospital room expenses for patients, who typically spend weeks at a time in the hospital several times a year.
Special Projects
Throughout the year, the Foundation also provides patients who go to the clinic for check-ups with seasonal, themed surprises. A tin of cookies is always waiting for patients in December, and high school seniors receive a graduation check each June.
