Twenty-eight years ago, Joseph and Susan Vizzoni started the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation (ECF) at their kitchen table. The organization had humble beginnings: the first regional center was someone’s garage! Today, we have four regional centers, dedicated staff and volunteers, and families who hail from every county in New Jersey.
Twenty-eight years ago families struggled with pediatric cancer. While survival rates have increased, pediatric cancer hasn’t been eliminated. So, ECF remains steadfast in supporting families in need. Communication with families, referring agencies, funders, supporters, and volunteers has been crucial to the growth and continued existence of ECF.
Twenty-eight years ago, methods of communication were limited: US postal mail, phone, and sometimes an occasional fax. Today, we have so many options for staying connected: email, website, Facebook, Twitter, and Blog, to name a few. We could spend hours posting on Facebook, updating our Blog, and even tweeting. But that doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense.
Ultimately, we want to communicate with you using methods that you most prefer and that make the best use of your time and ours! We’ve seen a growing number of followers on our Facebook page but not as much enthusiasm for our Blog. That said, we are wondering, does anyone read this Blog? Would you miss it if it were gone? Please post a comment, or send an email to aimee@emmanuelcancer.org, and let us know your thoughts. As always, we look forward to hearing from you.
