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 and lymphedema products, massage, facials, and other pampering
services, as a way to help women 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 many women, she may be busy caring for her children,
family, and possibly even her own parents... all at once. As a result, she may 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 support our cause by becoming a volunteer, placing
a coin collection canister in your business, sponsoring our golf tournament, 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.
