The U'ilani Fund

What is the U'ilani Fund?

The U'ilani Fund (pronounced oo-ee-la-nee) is a non-profit organization committed to providing support for complementary treatments for women with breast cancer in Santa Cruz, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Hawaii.

 
The U'ilani Fund has distributed over $190,000 to women undergoing breast cancer treatment since the organization was founded in 2001.

 
The U'ilani Fund was created in memory of Marina Lee U'ilani Bermudez, a family physician who passed away from breast cancer in 2000.

"I used the funds from my grant to get bodywork (therapeutic massage), which has aided in relieving intense joint pain I have been experiencing through chemo.  Thank you so much for the funding -- I am so appreciative that an organization like the U'ilani Fund exists!"
