CASTING FOR HOPE, founded in 2014, is a small nonprofit in the Health Care sector that reported $180K in total revenue in fiscal year 2023. Revenue fell 22% from the prior year — a significant decline worth monitoring. Expenses of $231K exceeded revenue, resulting in a 28% operating deficit.

Mission

CASTING FOR HOPE'S PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO ATTEND TO THE FINANCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF WOMEN LIVING WITH AND SURVIVING THROUGH AN OVARIAN OR GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, FILL SERVICE GAPS FOR THESE WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND NURTURE WOMEN AND THEIR CAREGIVERS DURING THE CANCER JOURNEY BY PRESENTING A NETWORK OF RELATED RESOURCES. CASTING FOR HOPE DIRECTORS LISTEN TO CONCERNS, OFFER A DEGREE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, HOLD RETREATS FOR A TIME OF RESPITE, AND DISTRIBUTE OVARIAN AND GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER EDUCATIONAL LITERATURE. THROUGH ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, FEMALE CANCER SURVIVORS RECEIVE LIMITED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, RETREAT OPPORTUNITIES, REFERRALS TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, AND RESOURCE LISTS. FUNDS TO SUSTAIN THESE PROGRAMS ARE RAISED THROUGH FLY-FISHING TOURNAMENTS AND SPONSORSHIPS, 5K WALKS AND RUNS, CONCERTS AND DINNERS, VARIOUS COMMUNITY EVENTS, PRIVATE DONATIONS AND COMMUNITY GRANTS.

RETREATS: WEEKEND RESPITES FOR GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. FELLOWSHIP AMID PRESENTATIONS. TALKS ON CANCER AND HEALTH-RELATED TOPICS. CASTING AND FLY-FISHING PARTICIPATION. FLY-TYING DEMONSTRATIONS. RETREATS OFFERED AT NO COST TO PARTICIPANTS. CASTING FOR HOPE ORGANIZES WEEKEND RETREATS FOR UP TO FOURTEEN GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER PATIENTS/SURVIVORS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS AT THE RETREAT CENTER. GUESTS BOND OVER THE TWO-DAY PERIOD THROUGH SHARED EXPERIENCES AND PERSONAL STORIES. PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELDS OF ONCOLOGY, SURVIVORSHIP, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, AND OTHER RELATED TOPICS PRESENT PRACTICAL INFORMATION. FLY-TYING AND CASTING ARE DEMONSTRATED BY EXPERT ANGLERS AND FLY-FISHING PARTICIPATION IS ENCOURAGED. THE PRIMARY GOAL IS TO GIVE PARTICIPANTS A BREAK FROM CLINICAL SETTINGS. FOR A SHORTER GET-AWAY PERIOD, DAY RETREATS AND ONE-NIGHT STAY RETREATS MAY BE SCHEDULED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL AND HER CAREGIVER(S). DAY RETREATS ARE ALSO OPEN TO CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS. CASTING FOR HOPE'S TEAM GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF DAY AND ONE-NIGHT STAY RETREATS. CASTING FOR HOPE DIRECTORS THINK THE TREATMENT AND OTHER ILLNESS ISOLATION REQUIRED FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNDERGOING OR HAVE GONE THROUGH CANCER TREATMENT CAN BE UNSETTLING. BELIEVING IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR PATIENTS TO STEP OUT OF A CLINICAL SETTING AND/OR AN ISOLATED HOME ENVIRONMENT, THE TEAM OFFERS SPRING AND FALL RETREATS TO A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS.

EDUCATION: DISTRIBUTION OF OVARIAN AND GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER LITERATURE, ATTENDANCE AT HEALTH FAIRS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS, CANCER AWARENESS PRESENTATIONS. OVARIAN CANCER HAS NO SPECIFIC SIGNS, NO EFFECTIVE SCREENING TESTS, AND NO PREVENTIVE METHODS. FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS, CASTING FOR HOPE HAS CREATED A "BOOKMARK" - A HANDOUT LISTING PERSISTENT SYMPTOMS AND RISK FACTORS. THESE BOOKMARKS AND OTHER CANCER-RELATED MATERIALS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO WOMEN'S HEALTH FACILITIES, PASSED OUT AT HEALTH FAIRS, AND OFFERED TO COMMUNITY GROUPS. OUR DIRECTORS INITIATE AND ARE INVITED TO GIVE ORGANIZATIONAL AND CANCER AWARENESS PRESENTATIONS AT HEALTH FAIRS, TO SUPPORT GROUPS, IN MEDICAL PRACTICES, TO THE WNC CANCER CONSORTIUM, AND TO INTERESTED PARTIES.
