EMPOWERMENT - Nadine Whitlock Hayes Legacy Fund
No one should face cancer alone. Will you give a helping hand?
So many challenges arise from a breast cancer diagnosis. The financial impact from a diagnosis and treatment can be one of the most devastating of those challenges. Many Indiana women undergoing breast cancer treatments struggle to pay bills or purchase gas and groceries. This adds tremendous stress to an already very challenging time in their lives.
Through our Nadine Whitlock Hayes Legacy Fund we help EMPOWER women to navigate those challenges.
Your donations can help:
- Pay a month's rent
- Pay a gas, electric or other utility bills
- Pay a medical bill
- Provide gift cards for gas and groceries
ABOUT NADINE WHITLOCK HAYES

Nadine Whitlock Hayes left her earthly life in 2014, after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. She lived an amazing life as a single mother raising 9 children after her husband died from Hodgkin's disease. One daughter preceded her in death, also from breast cancer, and a son died from pancreatic cancer subsequent to her death. Her other 7 children 18 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins cherish memories of her nurturing and are grateful for the life lessons she taught of strength, service and giving. One of her grandsons, William T. McClure, Jr., has established the Nadine Whitlock Hayes Legacy Fund to honor her by helping families who experience financial burdens as a result of breast cancer. He has chosen to partner with Pink-4-Ever Ending Disparities to manage the fund and to distribute donations from the Nadine Whitlock Hayes Legacy Fund to eligible patients, survivors and their families. Donations to this fund are used exclusively to provide financial assistance to patients and survivors to help ease financial burdens caused by their diagnosis and treatment and to help families with the cost of recommended genetic counseling and testing for breast cancer.
