CCCI Asks That You Help to Spread the Word

 

Hi Everyone!

 

As you know, Connecticut Community Care, Inc. will be hosting “Young@Heart Chorus” at the Bushnell-Belding Theater on Saturday, June 16, 2012. This concert will benefit CCCI’s Independent Living Fund. Would you help us spread the word via Facebook if you have an account?

 

If you have an account, we’d very much appreciate it if you would share the “Young@Heart” event from the Connecticut Community Care, Inc.’s Facebook page on your Facebook wall. It’s easy to do.

1. Go to the Connecticut Community Care, Inc. Facebook page. If you have not yet “liked” us, please do.
2. Go to the Events tab (below the “community” cover photo and to the right)
3. Click on the picture of “Young@Heart”
4. At the “Young@Heart” Events page, click “share” at the right of the screen
5. This brings up another box to select who and how you would like to share it. Leave it on “On Your Own Timeline”
6. You can then “write something” in the box, i.e. “Don’t miss out on this fun evening to benefit CCCI’s Independent Living Fund.”
7. Click Share Event

 

Also, if you are attending the concert, please click “join” on the events page. I have a feeling that there are a good number of us in the CCCI family who are attending.

 

Thanks again for you support. It’s great to see so many supporting this event through sponsorships and spreading the word in different ways.

 

If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me directly.

 

 

All my best,

-Ursula.

Foundation seeking grant applications from families in need

Foundation seeking grant applications from families in need Published 05/16/2012 12:00 AM Updated 05/16/2012 03:57 PM The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation announced today that it is seeking grant applications from families in need of financial assistance to help pay for their child’s health care treatments, services or equipment not covered, or not fully covered, by their commercial health insurance plan. Qualifying families can receive up to $5,000 to help pay for medical services and equipment such as physical, occupational and speech therapy, counseling services, surgeries, prescriptions, wheelchairs, orthotics, eyeglasses and hearing aids. To be eligible, children must be 16 years of age or younger. Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the United States and have a commercial health insurance plan. Grants are available for medical expenses families have incurred 60 days prior to the date of application as well as for ongoing and future medical needs. To apply, visit: uhccf.org. There is no application deadline. Organizations or private donors can make tax-deductible donations to the foundation at this website. “The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation is dedicated to improving a child’s health and quality of life by making it easier to access needed medical-related services,” Stephen Farrell, chief executive officer of UnitedHealthcare of New England said. “The grants enable families to focus on their children’s care instead of worrying about how they’ll pay their medical bills.” In 2011, UHCCF awarded more than 1,200 grants to families across the country for treatments associated with medical conditions such as cancer, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, diabetes, hearing loss, autism, cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, ADHD and cerebral palsy. The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity.
