Seeking Corporate Sponsors
Do you have a business or employer who may be interested in partnering with The Boon Project to impact young adult cancer fighters and survivors? We are seeking corporate sponsors for our current fiscal year at a variety of levels. Please email Katherine at Katherine@boonproject.org for sponsorship information.

Courage Club Corner
Earlier this month several members of our Courage Club met for a free yoga class at Community Yoga. Following yoga, they participated in a "make and take" session where they learned about essential oils and had the opportunity to make a few blends to assist with side effects and other health needs they've expressed. Thank you to Community Yoga and Lauri Watson, with Doterra Oils!

Metathriver Quarterly Gathering
We invite those members of our Courage Club who are "Metathrivers" (survivors facing stage IV/ metastasized cancer diagnosis) to join us for a Metathriver Happy Hour. Meet at Hometeam BBQ in West Ashley on September 26 from 5:30pm-7pm for free drinks and appetizers and a chance to spend time with others who are facing a chronic diagnosis. Please email Katherine to RSVP or for more info. Katherine@boonproject.org
