The Christine B. Foundation (CBF) is a service-providing nonprofit, building a community of support for those affected by cancer. Christine was a mother, sister, wife, and friend to many, who lost her battle with stomach cancer at the age of 47. Since 2014, patients with cancer and their families have accessed nutrition assistance, cancer conferences, and referral coordination at no-cost through CBF.
Established in 2004 and located in Ellsworth, the nonprofit resource center was born from an organization created by Beth C. Wright, who died of breast cancer in 2000. The Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center provides compassion, support, wellness groups, advocacy and education for patients, families, and friends in the midst of a cancer diagnosis, treatment and/or remission.
