Czar’s Promise is founded on the premise of giving back. Helping our canine and human companions who we love and cherish each day, whose lives have been impacted by a cancer diagnosis. And to bring our efforts home. To our very own community, so we may all realize the impact and giving nature of our families, friends, co-workers, and community partners. Giving of our hearts, compassion, talents, expertise, professional and financial support. Czar’s Promise mission focuses on three key areas that will be cared for with a dedicated commitment to integrity and ethics. - Financial, education and emotional support for families whose companion animals have been diagnosed with cancer - Grant funding for companion animal cancer research at the UW School of Veterinary Medicine, Madison, WI - Grant funding for pediatric cancer research at American Family Children’s Hospital and UW Carbone Cancer Center, Madison, WI
Description
In 2018, Czar’s Promise was founded in Madison, WI. We are an all volunteer organization of compassionate and caring individuals who have a unique understanding and approach to helping families who have received a cancer diagnosis in their companion animal. Through awareness and education programs as well as creative and engaging fundraising events, our organization is ever evolving.
