Patient / Caregiver Grant Program

Application

Upon receiving an indication of interest and application from an individual diagnosed with cancer or affected by a loved one’s diagnosis, a patient coordinator will discuss with that individual and his or her family to determine a recreational strategy that will assist in their management of the illness and in their recovery. Whether the outlet is biking, tennis, skiing, knitting, surfing, art lessons, karate classes, fishing, piano, theater, pottery, yoga, golf, hiking, team soccer, or any other recreational pursuit, Seas It will work to connect people with their favorite activities.

Once the activity is determined, Seas It will work toward making the activity a reality and a regular part of the person’s mental and physical recovery process. Seas It will do one or more of the following: provide administrative support to set up the activity (make phone calls, fill out paperwork, schedule appointments, etc.), pay for any necessary equipment required for the activity, and/or fund classes, membership fees or any other activity-related expense within its budget. Seas It will work to establish beneficial partnerships with community organizations that may reduce or waive their fees for services, products or equipment that will be used to benefit a person distressed by the onset of cancer.

Seas It will also develop its own network of recreational experts who regularly donate their time to promote its mission. It will also build its own inventory of equipment that will be made available to those in need.

Finally, through its website, programs, services and events, Seas It will consistently work to educate the public on the benefits of an active lifestyle and a positive attitude in the fight against cancer and in its prevention.

Recipients of the goods, services and funds offered by Seas It will be selected on a first come, first serve basis without discrimination on the basis of gender, race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Each potential participant will be interviewed by at least one patient coordinator to verify the patient’s situation and to evaluate the most effective way to promote recovery through recreation both for the patient and members of his or her family distressed by the patient’s diagnosis. Ultimately a physician must also verify a patient’s condition and approve that person for Seas It’s programs and services.
