BeYOND the cure - how it works

Access our services via one of our referral resource groups. Our referral resource groups identify & qualify those in need.

What we do? Offer access and/or resources to traditional mental & physical wellness programs to cancer survivors, caregiver and/or family.

Private donations, sponsorships and local fundraising events fuel the funding. 100% of the fundraising is then aimed to provide access and care to those in need of financial support.

How? The Roughwater Foundation has developed a strong referral resource program. These referral resource groups identify & qualify those in need . In turn, placed with one of our mental & physical wellness providers for support.

Who are the mental & physical providers? The Roughwater Foundation has also developed a network of licensed professionals & therapists which meet our foundation criteria and have agreed to a standard payment rate. This network established to provide care to those identified & qualified by our Referral Resource Groups. The private donations, sponsorships & local fundraising by The Roughwater Foundation fuel the funding for the cost(s) associated of the providers care.
