As we celebrate 26 years of service to cancer patients and their families, we reflect on how true the expression is of “how time flies”. These past years we have grown and expanded our programs. One we are truly proud and excited for is our “Kid’s Community” which provides support and mind/body activities for children whose loved ones are affected by cancer. We continue to offer all of our core programs and newly expanded programs at no cost whatsoever. What a fabulous accomplishment for this community to share. We are forever grateful to our founders, board of directors, staff, volunteers and donors. Now an international organization consisting of 57 affiliates and 120 off site locations, Cancer Support Community –Redondo Beach owes its origins to Dr. Harold Benjamin who opened the first Wellness Community in Santa Monica in 1982. Our visionaries in the South Bay raised funds and we were the 2nd Wellness Community in the country to open our doors. We have continued our mission with the highest standards of psychosocial services at no charge whatsoever to thousands of cancer patients and their loved ones. Today, we again want to extend our deepest appreciation to our generous sponsors, food, wine and auction donors, volunteers, staff and guests for their generous support. THANK YOU again for helping to make 17 years of Celebrate Wellness our “signature event” and to help raise funds for our ongoing 150 programs per month. We hope you will enjoy your day and that you will bid generously, knowing that all monies raised today will stay in your community to help people affected by cancer, again, at no charge whatsoever. It is truly heartwarming for both of us to know how many have taken advantage of our programs at Cancer Support Community to adapt to perhaps the most challenging phase in their lives. We both have used the services and could not be more grateful for the help we received. THANK YOU! L. J. Stogsdill President & Chairperson Board of Directors Judith Opdahl Executive Director / CEO Mission Statement of Cancer Support Community To ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community - all free of charge. 3 Our Heartfelt Appreciation Today would not have been possible without the dedication of a group of volunteers who shared a common vision, to create a place where cancer patients and their families would receive psychosocial and educational support services, completely free of charge. They have all been remarkable stewards and have continued to guide us as our Patient Active philosophy has become the gold standard of service for cancer patients throughout the South Bay and the country. founders professional advisory board Elise Asch Anne Clary, MFT Jean McMillan Thomas Simko, MD Joost van Adelsberg, MD Daniel Hovenstine, MD • Chairperson, Radiation Oncology Fikret Atamdede, MD • Gynecology/Oncology Paula Bauer, RN, MSN Mary Byrne, RN, MSN Kathleen Calderon Lacey, RN, MSN, MFT Christine Dauphine, MD • Surgery Lisa Fisher, MD • Obstetrics / Gynecology Melanie Friedlander, MD • Surgery Susan Goodlerner, MD • Dermatology Garth Green, MD • Radiation Oncology Andrew Horodner, MD • Oncology Timothy Lesser, MD • Urology Richard Lopez, MD • Surgery Paul Murata, MD • Family Practice Wade Nishimoto, MD • Hematology / Oncology Richard C.

Winner need not be present. 7 Leaving a Legacy kyle kazan, former participant & sr. vice president of the board Diane & Kyle Kazan December 11th of 2000 started like any other day in my life. Just another sunny day in Southern California which like so many other things in life gets taken for granted, even in December. Late that afternoon, a doctor gave my wife Diane the diagnosis of cancer and all of a sudden life as I knew it was forever changed. When that insidious and often life-taking-dream shattering disease is growing inside someone you love, the world is turned upside down. Doctor appointments, second opinions, confirming the pathology of the tumor and finding the appropriate therapy while making sure insurance covered it was the immediate focus. Even though I share everything with this woman, I couldn’t tell her my deepest fears and simply buried them since she couldn’t be burdened during the fight of and for her life. The one organization that kept coming up in conversations was the Cancer Support Community. Several trusted friends said we must go there as it would be a “game changer” in this fight. Almost in a fog, we made our way to the Redondo Beach Pier and the welcoming confines where Cancer Support Community is housed. During our introductory meeting with a couple who went through the exact situation we were now in, I agreed to their request of coming three times. If this wasn’t for us, we’d know by then. That said, I enjoyed that introductory meeting as they “got it” while almost everyone in my life while well-meaning didn’t understand what we were going through. Diane’s group consisted of other women who were in the same fight against Breast Cancer while I was in the family group. After 2 hours, we both came out of our respective meetings rejuvenated and with clearer heads. We agreed to 3 meetings but came for a year and a half. The facilities were fantastic and the professional facilitators were magnificent. Everything else in this fight cost money and after several sessions I inquired about the bill that I must owe. I was told that caring people donated so that I could focus on being patient active and not worry about paying. In my 33 years on this planet, I don’t think that I was ever given such an incredible and generous gift. Four years later, Diane is cancer free and while we are forever changed, normalcy has returned. We are creating a trust and deciding how we divide all that we have been lucky enough to acquire in our lives. We take care of our child, our parents (should they outlive us), our siblings. But we wanted to leave a legacy. Yes, we chose to leave a sizable piece of our estate to the Cancer Support Community and pay our good fortune forward. Generous people took care of us as total strangers and we will do the same. Even though we enjoy every day and hope that our planned gift doesn’t happen anytime soon, we feel very good knowing that when that time comes, we will be helping others. It actually inspires me to work a tad harder each day knowing that the better we do, the more we will be able to leave to provide that shelter when lives are being turned upside down. 8 Celebrate Wellness 2012 9 Live & Silent Auction item descriptions Live Auction 12 Silent Auction 10 Travel and Hotel Stays 14 Dining 20 Entertainment 22 Something for Everyone 28 Sports 30 Health and Beauty 32 Kids 35 Wine Vault 36 General Information Cancer Support Community makes no warranties, expressed or implied, on any goods or services sold.
