The Miracle of Giving
As I look outside on this cold, grey day in Cincinnati I’m reminded that my friend on the other end of the phone has a similar perspective, yet a much different view on this Sunday. Dr. Victor Nicolas or “Dr. Vic” as we call him is relaxing at his beachside home in Maui, enjoying an extended honeymoon with his wife, Rita. Dr.Vic has been an anesthesiologist for the past 35 years and a Hawaiian vacation homeowner for just shy of eight. He has generously given his beautiful condo to KWF recipients since 2015.
The special thing about Dr.Vic is that he fully embodies our ‘Give First’ Mentality. He has a ‘no strings attached’ approach when it comes to sharing the gifts life has given him with others. READ MORE

Fun NowFUN Now means putting FUN on calendars of women LIVING with breast cancer. We’re not your ordinary cancer foundation. As a matter of fact, we are we are more of an attitude, than a foundation. We are a FUN only organization that gives family vacations, pampering spa days with sisters, dinners out with best friends, concerts, road trips and other FUN-ONLY gifts and experiences to women and families LIVING with breast cancer. Women with cancer have calendars full of anything but fun: chemo, radiation treatments, doctors’ appointments, tests, and more tests. Our generous givers, make it possible for us to change that and put some FUN on their calendars too. . We’re a diverse, inclusive, and growing group of friends in nine chapters throughout the U.S. Friends who know how to have fun and, more importantly, get excited about giving FUN to others. What started as Karen's dream to send one family each year on a special vacation once she beat cancer, has grown beyond our wildest expectations. Over the past 14 years, we've given almost 1,000 gifts of fun to our special ladies and their families. We hope to do even more in 2021. We rely on the generosity of people to donate a week a year of their vacation homes or timeshares, airline miles, event tickets or cash. Our LIVING Committee leverages this generosity, connects the dots, and makes some magic happen. #FunNow! #KWFLIVING Contact us: info@karenwellingtonfoundation.org |

Somehow just saying "thank you" doesn't seem like enough. But I hope you know how much your kindness has meant to us. With the medical bills pouring in, we knew there was no chance of taking a vacation this year. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the perfect getaway KWF planned for my husband and me. I loved my morning walks on the beach ... This past year has been nothing short of horrifying ... KWF put FUN back into our lives which had been gone." - Michelle
