Teal totes: goal is to give every newly diagnosed woman with a gynecologic cancer in the lowcountry with a bag of hope (teal tote). The bag contains items needed during the required intense treatments; warm blanket, hats to use when hair is lost, water bottle, journal, etc (approx. Cost of $100 each). In 2024 $11,295 was spent for teal totes. Totes were distributed to 125 newly diagnosed women through area cancer center and gynecologic oncologists' offices.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $53k to $79k (+51%).
