Chemotherapy patients at the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute (FHCI) just received 30 Apple iPads, a much needed diversion, from Rock Pink, a local breast health awareness organization.
“I think this donation is just great and really practical. It will really benefit the patients that come here week after week because there is a lot of downtime,” said Kathleen Reid, a breast cancer patient. “My friends are all playing that ‘Words with Friends’ game so I’m excited to be able to play that now!”
The 32GB iPads come fully loaded with music and stream many forms of entertainment, including songs from local artists in support of Rock Pink. The organization will update and service the iPads regularly.
In addition to the generous iPad donation, Rock Pink also became the first non-profit to join Harriett’s Founding 100, donating $10,000 to benefit Eden: The Spa for Image Discovery at FHCI. The Spa focuses on providing therapeutic treatments, as well as wigs and mastectomy garments, to those suffering from cancer and was founded on a charitable gift from philanthropist Harriett Lake.
