The Army!
Avalon's Army of Angels
Avalon's Treasury is the closest to a "normal" charity that the Army will ever get.  The
beginning of the treasury lies with the heartfelt requests from a Children's Hospital social
worker.  During discussions with a founder of Avalon's Army, she requested that the Army
consider some unique needs of families and patients on the Heme-Onc unit.  

Sadly, there are patients lost to the evils of cancer.  Often that loss is not only more than the
hearts of a family can bear, its more than their finances can, as well.  Avalon's Army wishes to
alleviate some of the financial burden by having facilities at
Avalon's Haven to hold memorial
services.  However, eventually there will also be a fund within
Avalon's Treasury to assist with
other funeral expenses.

Avalon's Treasury also wishes to establish, Food for Thought, a fund to provide food and
snacks for several pediatric cancer needs.  It would set aside monies for occasional pizza
parties or special treats for patients that are in-house.  There would also be separate funds to
help with snacks for patient support group meetings.
