AA Van Elslander Foundation awards $2.5 million grant to New Day Foundation for Families

The A.A. Van Elslander Foundation recently awarded a $2.5 million grant to the nonprofit New Day Foundation for Families, for cancer support services.

The announcement was made by Gina Kell Spehn, co-founder and president of Rochester Hills-based New Day Foundation. It is the largest grant received in the nonprofit’s history.

“The A.A. Van Elslander Foundation recognizes New Day Foundation as a leader in helping people who are facing cancer-related financial toxicity, and they recognize that our ‘family-focused’ approach is innovative and critical to the healing process,” said Kell Spehn.

“No family should make unthinkable choices between cancer treatment and basic necessities,” said A.A. Van Elslander Foundation board member Debra Van Elslander.  ““We are making this investment in New Day because we know the funding we provide will be put to the best possible use to help Michigan’s communities in need.”

New Day Foundation for Families provides financial and emotional resources to Michigan families facing cancer. For more information, visit www.foundationforfamilies.org.
