CARD Foundation receives 10K donation

 

The Western News , August 17, 2010

 

Not only did an Illinois-based nonprofit give the Center For Asbestos Related Disease Foundation a $10,000 donation, but the organization’s chairman personally delivered the check.

 

John Simmons, chairman of the Simmons Mesothelioma Foundation, recently stopped in Libby to hand off the donation as he was traveling through Montana on a motorcycle trip.

 

The funding will be used to increase the capacity of the CARD Foundation to implement fundraising activities, which will directly benefit CARD.

 

The Simmons Mesothelioma Foundation was established as a nonprofit organization in 2010 through a multi-million dollar pledge from the Simmons Law Firm, a national law firm that has represented thousands of victims of mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases throughout the country.

 

The foundation provides resources to support national efforts of improving quality of life for patients and, ultimately, finding of a cure for mesothelioma.
