2012 Annual Report: "A Mission Stronger When Shared"


Albemarle and Cancer Services staff gather to lay the groundwork for corporate expansion of Cancer Services’ Annual Giving Program: Albemarle Corporate Vice President of Global Sales/Supply Chain and Cancer Services Board Member Tony Parnell, Cancer Services Executive Director Mimi Riche, Executive Director of the Albemarle Foundation Sandra Holub and Cancer Services Marketing and Development Director John Boudreaux.


Over the past four years, Cancer Services’ Annual Giving has grown in size and, considering current economic realities, it’s also grown in importance. We couldn’t do what we do without the support of this community, and donors make the biggest impact through our Annual Giving Program. Cancer Services is excited to announce the new Mission Partner Annual Giving Level. Mission Partners are members of the medical and corporate community who support our mission through significant financial contribution, board leadership and in-kind assistance. We’re excited and pleased to announce our first two Mission Partners: The Cancer Program of Our Lady of the Lake and Mary Bird Perkins and Albemarle Corporation.

Linda Lee, Administrator at Our Lady of the Lake – Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center recognizes the importance of this partnership to the medical community, “Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge provides vital services for cancer patients and their families locally. These services are essential to ensuring that those fighting this disease have access to the resources they need. Day after day, Cancer Services is making a real and meaningful difference to countless individuals in our community.” Sandra Holub, Executive Director of the Albemarle Foundation, agrees, “Albemarle is proud to lead the way and be a Corporate Mission Partner. Everyone is impacted by cancer in some way. We are so grateful to have an organization like Cancer Services that makes the word ‘cancer’ a bit less scary.”
Mission Partners ensure that relevant and meaningful services are available to all cancer patients and their families regardless of where they seek medical treatment.
