Crickett’s Answer for Cancer
is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization* that was formed in memory of Crickett Julius, who passed away in October
of 2006, only four months after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at the age of 39. As her mother
and cousin, we founded Crickett’s Answer for Cancer to support women with breast
cancer. We provide wigs, mastectomy products, oncology/mastectomy/ lymphedema massage, facials, and other
pampering services, as a way to feel feminine and beautiful despite losing their hair and/or breasts.
A woman with breast cancer often feels a loss of her identity and self-esteem as a woman, but may
consider these frivolous items for which she should not spend money. Like most women, she may be busy caring for everyone
around her, and may tend to place herself last on the priority list. Crickett’s Answer
for Cancer reminds women with breast cancer to care for themselves too, as feeling good
about themselves and having time for relaxation are important for healing, and for managing life with breast cancer. By
providing no-cost products and services, we honor these courageous women with breast cancer, as well as the
memory of Crickett Julius.
We rely on the kindness and generosity of our supporters, including a number of hair
stylists, massage therapists, and aestheticians who so graciously offer their services to the patients we serve. You may
also wish to support our cause by becoming a volunteer, participating in a quarter auction as a vendor, placing a coin collection
canister in your business, or making a tax-deductible donation to Crickett’s Answer for Cancer.
In each of these ways, you CAN make a difference in the life of a woman with breast cancer. If interested, please
contact us for more information.
