Personal Giving
Your contribution is vital to our mission of diagnosing and treating skin cancer with cutting edge mohs surgery, and then providing an aesthetic reconstruction so that the patient can return to daily living. These patients do not have access to this type of technology, and frequently have to wait years for any type of surgery. Your generous contribution may also provide resources for other dermatologic surgery treatments such as scar revision and disfiguring congenital birthmarks. You can also name Blade and Light International in your will and trusts which will leave a legacy of global skin cancer care for the underserved.
Workplace Giving
There are many ways for companies and employees to donate to Blade and Light International to help cure skin cancers with specialized mohs surgery; reduce scars; and eliminate disfiguring birthmarks. Your company may have a matching gift program; or you may be able to deduct it directly from your salary before taxes; or your company may have an employee motivation program for gift giving.
Matching gifts by your employer will double your donation. Your supervisor or HR Department will be able to tell you whether your company has a matching gift program.
