Holiday Cheer

Hope Starts Here with Holiday Cheer is CVSA’s annual End of the Year Giving fundraiser.  CVSA knows many have been hit hard financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic; non-profits have also been deeply affected by the pandemic.  As a result of the pandemic, CVSA has had to make many drastic changes in the way it operates.  With CVSA being the one and only non-profit that provides support, education, and resources to CVS patients and their families in North America;  we know that after 27 years we still need to be here for CVS patients to find their hope when they need it most.
