Chummy Holiday Drive 2023
This year we are participating in Badger Childhood Cancer Network’s Adopt-A-Family program. Each fall BCCN matches some of their neediest patient families to donors in the community. Chummy will sponsor at least two families this holiday season.
Here’s how it works:
Families of patients will provide a list of wishes and needs for each family member to BCCN, which is shared with Chummy for sponsorship.
Chummy will provide a sign-up document with the wish list items; you can sign up to purchase one or more items. See sample family wish lists below.
You and your family will go shopping for your item(s) and deliver them to BCCN (Atwood Ave) or to a near-west Madison location (address TBA).
If you’re interested in participating or receiving more information, please sign up now using this form! We’ll reach out to you as soon as we have the family wish lists from BCCN (mid November). Signing up now is not a commitment.
