AmazonSmile participants were notified this week that Amazon is discontinuing this special program and will be focusing their philanthropic efforts in different areas. The program ceases on February 20th, 2023.

The convenience of using a program like AmazonSmile is hard to beat. Set it & forget it, and the dollars and cents were fowarded to the LRG in accordance with the AmazonSmile guidelines. That was simple. Before the program ends, we encourage you to make all the purchases you have planned for the next month or so within that Feb. 20 deadline if possible. Every penny counts!

After that, why not consider the GEMs Program to help The Life Raft Group?

GEMs BannerThe GEMs Program is an automatic monthly donation that you set up & forget. For the price of two fancy coffees a month (just over $10 plus tax, if you’re a latte lover), you can help the LRG ensure that patients & caregivers receive the information they need about treatment options, biomarker testing, and clinical trials through our educational programs, as well as daily personal support through our Support Groups and our GIST Mentor program.
