James Dockerty Judy Weisenfeld, LICSW MESSaGE FROM THE CHaiRMan Erik S. Sherman 2011 was a momentous year for the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami. We supported our twenty thousandth participant, and just as importantly we helped over 3,400 members of our community who came to visit our facility throughout the year. 2012 is set to be another notable year as we will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary. I am honored to be your incoming Chairman knowing the best is still yet to come for our organization and the people we serve. At the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami people are empowered by knowledge, strengthen by action, and sustained by community. All of our services are offered free of charge. Strong evidence continues to support the utilization of psycho-social needs as an integral part of quality care that can improve health and minimize disease symptoms. There is nowhere else in Miami where participants and their families can access this comprehensive psycho-social support at one location. Your support this evening, your continued support throughout the year, and your support in the past, is what keeps our doors open to ensure that we can continue to provide these valuable services to individuals and families who have been affected by cancer. In conjunction with the cutting edge medical treatments available in Miami, we as an organization provide a unique component to overall care. Listening to our participants, hearing their stories, seeing their progress is what drives all of us to improve our programs and stay focused on our services. This evening we are honoring two extraordinary recipients each who has their own unique story, and each who has demonstrated leadership in our community. Our Champion of Human Spirit is Jennifer Stearns Buttrick and our Champion of Community Spirit is SAP International. These honors showcase the fight and defeat each of us can accomplish and exemplifies the commitment and passion of community involvement. Jennifer’s dedication to South Florida stretches far beyond just our organization. Her involvement in many other organizations should not go unnoticed and illustrates the true meaning of community. As we get ready to celebrate our 10th Anniversary SAP International marks its 40th Anniversary. Their philosophy of empowering people, products, and partners to unleash new value for customers and entire industries, mirrors our philosophy in how empowering our participants through our psycho-social support can help them cope and fight cancer. Tonight we are also recognizing Pamela Zakheim as the recipient of our very first Founder’s Award. We are very proud to introduce this new recognition as it allows a platform for paying tribute to our visionary leader and this new annual award for excellence in volunteerism. Pam’s dedication and passion is what opened our doors, and her continued leadership motivates all of us to be better, do better, and give more of ourselves. Congratulations to all of our recipients this year as each of you have helped to make this evening’s event special and memorable. You all have so much to be proud of, and tonight is a celebration of what you have accomplished. On behalf of our current participants, and future participants thank you for your support this evening and your continued involvement through the year and years to come. The best is still yet to come for all of us and we look forward to what is next and remain dedicated to our community and those affected by cancer. Erik S.

One is the instillation of hope at a time when too often things feel hopeless, and the other is building community at a time when too often one feels alone. Our two prestigious award categories, the Champion of the Human Spirit, and the Champion of the Community Spirit, have been created in recognition of these two important elements. Adam Carlin The Champion of the Human Spirit The Champion of the Human Spirit award is designed to honor a cancer survivor or support person. The recipient is always a person who has become a beacon of light and hope for others whose lives have been impacted by cancer. We have chosen a star to symbolize this award.

Helping the community is a critical component of our success formula; for giving back to those who need is the best way to do the most good and make the largest impact in the world.” - Rodolpho Cardenuto, President, SAP Latin America & Caribbean Headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, SAP is the market leader in enterprise application software. Founded in 1972, SAP (which stands for "Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing") has a rich history of innovation and growth as a true industry leader. SAP applications and services enable more than 183,000 customers worldwide to operate profitably, adapt continuously and grow sustainably. SAP's story is one of a steady rise from a small, five-man operation headquartered in southwest Germany's Rhein-Neckar district to one of the world's largest independent software providers and an employer of more than 55,000 people in over 50 countries worldwide. 2012 marks the 40th year of SAP helping the world run better–and they are just getting started! SAP's philosophy is that the power of their people, products, and partners unleashes growth and creates significant new value for customers, SAP, and ultimately, entire industries and the economy at large. Building on 40 years of innovation, SAP continues to enable people, companies and organizations to better understand and more quickly act upon customer demands, unexpected events and new opportunities. SAP International opened their Latin American Division in Miami 10 years ago. Led by President Rodolpho Cardenuto, SAP International has been a solid contributor in community outreach. In 2007, they established a local philanthropic and community relations program, organizing volunteers and donating funds to many South Florida non-profits. SAP has donated time and financial resources to Jackson Memorial Hospital, Children's Home Society, Junior Achievement, and the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami. Their global charitable interests are concentrated in meeting basic needs, promoting education and providing economic opportunities to entrepreneurs through technology. In 2010 alone, this dynamic and extraordinary company invested $24 million worldwide to those in need. SAP's mission is to help companies of all sizes and industries run better. Their vision is to help the world run better. Now more than ever, SAP helps the world run better by improving people's lives. We think they are achieving that just by their actions here in South Florida.

The Cancer Support Community Greater Miami reached its 10th year serving people affected by cancer in Miami-Dade. Since 2002, we have touched the lives of over 20,000 people affected by cancer through our onsite, offsite and online services. In these ten years we have provided nearly 99,000 service hours. Our team offered close to 18,500 hours of mind body programs, 5,936 hours of educational programs, and 17,176 hours of support sessions. We have been able to do this thanks to the generous support of our donors and community foundations. Organizations such as the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, The Miami Foundation, and the Peacock Foundation have enabled us to maintain and strengthen our presence in underserved communities such as the Latino and Black communities. Through a grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, programming at Jackson Memorial Hospital has solidified and the Cancer Support Community is now an ongoing source of education and support for patients from the Taylor Breast Health Center. Over this last decade, we are proud to say that we have also worked closely with Baptist Congregational Health to help address the needs of cancer survivors in the faith-based communities in Miami-Dade. We have organized educational and support programs in the community and have also participated in cross-training so that each organization can learn from one another and strengthen our collaboration. Our work in the community has also made it possible to partner with Baptist Health South Florida, which now sponsors monthly workshops where its top oncology professionals share their knowledge and expertise with our participants. We also have a thriving support program for children whose parents or grandparents have cancer - the "Family Circle" program. This program has been supported by the Batchelor Foundation and the Hurlburt Foundation. The Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation and the Carnival Foundation have also joined us and provided grant money to run several networking and support groups. It is a source of great pride to have our work recognized by these great foundations and organizations. We will remain steadfast in our dedication to be the gold standard in psycho-social care for cancer survivors so that we continue to be worthy of the support of our generous benefactors. We provide these high quality programs guided by a model of support first developed in 1982 - the Patient Active Concept© which has since then evolved to make the Cancer Support Community an international leader in the field of cancer support. Every aspect of our program (support groups, educational workshops, mind-body stress reduction programs, and social activities) is grounded in evidence-based research validating its effectiveness in diminishing distress and improving quality of life for cancer patients and caregivers. Our national affiliate monitors programs closely to ensure that each affiliate meets this standard. On a national level, we are proud to have established strong collaborative relationships with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Health (NIH). In addition, the Cancer Support Community Headquarters is involved in numerous national research projects with partners such as Stanford University and the University of California at San Francisco. I thank all of our grantors, donors, and volunteers for the many ways you have helped us. Support is a crucial element in cancer survivorship, and the Cancer Support Community invites you to continue with us as we expand and enhance our services in South Florida so that no one has to face cancer alone. Finally, I want to take a moment to remember those who have passed through our doors and who have shared their courage and zest of life with us. Our participants continue to bring our center to life and to make our vision and mission at the Cancer Support Community a reality. peggy Rios, ph.D.

OUR MiSSiOn To ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community. OUR pHiLOSOpHy Cancer patients who fight for their recovery along with their health care team will improve the quality of their lives and may enhance the possibility of their recovery. To ensure that our services do not increase the burdens on those already dealing with life-threatening issues, as well as to make ourselves available to the greatest number of people, all services are always offered completely free of charge to all who enter our doors. OUR HiSTORy In July 2009, The Wellness Community - National and Gilda’s Club joined forces to become the largest provider of cancer support worldwide. The combined organization is now called the Cancer Support Community. In March of 2010 we, in Miami, officially changed our name from The Wellness Community-Greater Miami to the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami. We believe that this new name better represents that which we do. The first Wellness Community opened its doors in Santa Monica California in 1982; the first Gilda’s Club, in New York City in 1995. Our Miami affiliate opened in April, 2002 and since that time, we have provided a wide array of psycho-social support and educational services to close to 20,000 Miami-Dade cancer patients, their families and their loved ones. For each affiliate, the primary purpose of our national headquarters is to provide strong clinical oversight and quality control over local programs. It is important to emphasize that each affiliate of the Cancer Support Community raises its own funds and is governed by its local Board of Directors. In other words, money raised in Miami stays in Miami. As we anticipated during our formation activities, the demand for our services is great. We have responded by providing bilingual programs six days a week during both day and evening hours. Locally we have established good working relationships with the large medical and hospital community in Miami to ensure that we are meeting their patients’ needs for psycho-social oncology services. Additionally, we have collaborative relationships with the local chapters of the American Cancer Society, La Liga Contra el Cancer, the International Myeloma Foundation, The FL Breast CA Foundation, the University of Miami’s Breast Cancer, “Coping and Recovery” Project, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Inc., among others. Nationally we are proud to have strong collaborative relationships with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Health (NIH). We are supported solely though grants, corporate and foundation gifts, donations from individuals, and, signature special events such as our annual Tee Off Fore Wellness Golf & Tennis Tournament featuring the Thea Cup and this evening’s Heart & Star Award Dinner. Please visit our website for to see our monthly calendar and special programs: www.CancerSupportCommunityMiami.org CanCER SUppORT COMMUniTy GREaTER MiaMi The Cancer Support Community offers a comprehensive group of educational services as well as psychological and social support programs, completely free of charge, to adults with cancer and their loved ones. Our services are offered as an integral part of conventional medical treatment and are available from the moment one is diagnosed. We do not offer medical or alternative treatments of any kind. Our participants come to us from the entire Greater Miami area. They have been diagnosed with all types of cancer, at all stages, and range in age from young adults to senior citizens. We offer our free services to all who come to us, regardless of race, religion, political affiliation, etc. We also offer culturally appropriate programs in Spanish to increase our ability to reach out to the diversified population in our region. All of our services are provided under one roof, in a setting designed to feel like a home. Only professionals licensed in their fields of expertise facilitate groups and lead workshops. Bilingual programs are offered Monday through Saturday, daytime and evening hours, most on a drop-in basis. We are proud to report that every program we offer is based on the latest research regarding the psycho-social needs of cancer patients. There is nowhere else in the Greater Miami area where patients and their families can access such comprehensive psycho-social support at one location. OUR pROGRaMS paRTiCipanT GROUpS Ongoing, weekly groups facilitated by licensed mental health professionals. In these groups, people with cancer draw support from each other and explore new ways to deal with the stressors of their disease. FaMiLy GROUpS Because cancer impacts the family and friends of the person with cancer, we offer a comprehensive program of support to loved ones and caregivers, including, but not limited to, ongoing weekly support groups facilitated by licensed mental health professionals. MOnTHLy DiSEaSE-SpECiFiC nETwORKinG GROUpS Disease-specific support and education groups for cancer patients, family members, and friends to share feelings and concerns about particular diagnoses, treatment outcome, or other related matters. Networking groups currently available include brain tumors, breast cancer, head and neck cancers, leukemia and lymphoma, lung cancer and multiple myeloma. EDUCaTiOnaL pROGRaMS anD wORKSHOpS Interactive learning opportunities provided by experts on a variety of topics that are related to cancer treatment, reducing stress, and maximizing health. Programs include: medical updates; managing the side effects of treatment, such as fatigue and pain; family issues related to having a serious illness; financial and legal matters; and quality of life concerns. We also offer a series of programs specifically designed to help the young children of adults with cancer. OnGOinG LiFE EnHanCEMEnT pROGRaMS These programs are conducted by instructors with expertise in such areas as stress reduction, nutrition, exercise, and visualization of relaxation. They provide the opportunity to learn more about the field of the mind-body connection. Participants learn techniques, which they can use at home, to reduce stress and enhance their physical and emotional well-being. Weekly classes include Yoga, Tai Chi, Gentle Exercise and Relaxation/Visualization classes. Monthly classes include Nutrition and Cancer workshops. 15 HeArT & StAr AwArD DinnEr Welcome The Cancer Support Community Greater Miami is housed in a facility that is approximately 4,800 square feet. Most of our programs are offered, under this one roof. While the facility is part of a strip mall located at the intersection of US1 and North Kendall Drive, as people walk through our doors they enter a warm, welcoming space that is not clinical in any way. We are grateful to Darlene & Jorge perez for their generous gift of the build-out of our space. Each of the rooms is decorated to feel like a home, with comfortable, casual sofas and chairs, coffee tables, lamps, paintings and other beautiful art. Macy’s graciously donated their interior design services as well as all of the furnishings throughout the Cancer Support Community. The beautiful Pergo® flooring was donated and installed by Mr. & Mrs. Karl Stenstrom. Living room & Kitchen The entry way above leads directly into the living room, just as it does in any home. The living room has a comfortable seating area and is open to both our gentle exercise room and our kitchen. Our kitchen is fully stocked and is used for cooking demonstrations that follow the recommended guidelines developed by the National Cancer Institute as well as for social gatherings for our participants. The kitchen cabinets were a gift from Stan Krieger, and the appliances were a gift from Mark Lawrence. Group rooms We have two rooms that serve as meeting rooms for our various group activities, including the support groups we offer each week. One of our group rooms has been dedicated to the memory of Lilliam Briggs Winograd through a generous donation from Meg & Richard Green. The second group room has been dedicated to the memory of both Brenda Zakheim and Gilda Radner from pamela & Richard Zakheim. Gentle Exercise room The gentle exercise area provides an open space for yoga, Tai Chi and other programs that we provide to help people overcome the side-effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as to help them manage pain and stress. It is also the site for many of our social events and educational presentations. 17 HeArT & StAr AwArD DinnEr Library We have a library area containing shelves filled with books and pamphlets of interest to cancer patients and their families, as well as a computer to allow for internet research. This room exists because of the generosity of Mary & Howard Frank. Program room We also have a playfully decorated room that is both inviting and comfortable for children. Here we provide support services for children who have a parent, grandparent or guardian with cancer. This space is also an additional program room and conference room when needed. The Giving Tree One of the décor highlights within the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami happens to be a very special handmade installation that serves as a unique focal point as well as our main donor recognition piece. The Giving Tree, pictured below, hangs within our living room. Through the generosity of the Strochak, Green and Goldban families, we were able to contract Santa Fe artist David Ross to design and create this 8 ft. tall wood sculpture.

Temple Beth Am Thank you to our Generous Sponsors and in-Kind Donors! *As of February 28, 2012. LETTER FROM THE ExECUTiVE DiRECTOR Danielle F. Spiegelman The Cancer Support Community Greater Miami (CSCGM) has been blessed to have the steadfast and loyal support of dedicated volunteers, and individual and corporate donors who have stood by our organization–in both good and challenging times. Ten years of hard work and determination by so many in this room and throughout the United States have nurtured one person’s vision. A promise twice over realized–once to her best friend, and again a second time to her husband; our Founder & President, Pamela Katz Zakheim was embraced by two communities and founded Cancer Support Communities in both Boston and Greater Miami. Pam, your smile lights up a room and your ability to mobilize the many, and the most cautious one, is inspirational to all those who have had the pleasure of watching you do so these many years. The gift of the Cancer Support Community has been a critical and comforting resource to thousands of deserving cancer patients. We applaud your insight and fortitude and congratulate you tonight as our first Cancer Support Community Greater Miami Founder’s Award recipient. This new honor is for excellence in volunteerism–how fitting for our Founder! Since our opening in April of 2002, the incredible people of South Florida have welcomed us, taken up our cause and partnered as cherished advocates. Every day we celebrate our combined accomplishments as they to sustain us and enable us to continue to provide FREE support to cancer patients and loved ones. It gives me great pride to share this special evening with you as we pay tribute to Jennifer Stearns Buttrick and SAP International at this 10th Anniversary Heart & Star Award Dinner. During the many months leading up to our event, I have had the privilege of working with Jennifer. I have learned about her personal journey and the unique experiences that have shaped her life. I have shared stories with her loving family and friends and have had a smile on my face each time I have looked at her baby photos and those of her three beautiful boys! Jennifer is a true Champion in every sense of the word and I congratulate her as our 2012 Champion of the Human Spirit Award recipient. Thank you for honoring us by representing the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami with such dignity and grace. Through its philanthropic commitment, SAP International is working to shape the landscape of South Florida for the better. In a year where this global computer and applications software giant is celebrating its 40th Anniversary, we welcome the opportunity to recognize its daily acts of kindness within our community. SAP International is committed to our hometown. SAP’s mission and basic company principles position them as a most deserving recipient of the 2012 Champion of the Community Spirit Award. Involved in a variety of deserving charities locally, this dynamic and extraordinary company invested $24 million worldwide just in 2010 alone! A herculean feat with unimaginable implications globally for so much good! As we look ahead, we warmly welcome Erik Sherman, our 2012 – 2014 Board Chairman. Erik is a charismatic and passionate professional and has been devoted to our mission for more than seven years as a steadfast volunteer. We are so pleased to have you in this role and know that you will do great things for our community. I would also like to recognize Adam Spiegel, our immediate past Board Chairman. He has been a strong, generous and resourceful leader who dedicated countless hours to our organization. I personally thank you once again for taking your mother’s great advice and convincing me to follow my heart to the Cancer Support Community. It’s been almost two years since I began my work as the Executive Director; however, it took only a few short weeks to realize that this opportunity would truly be the most satisfying and heartfelt position of my career. There has not been a day that has passed since joining this well-formed team of professionals, board members, community ambassadors and physicians, that I have not felt this way. Those whom are the closest to me know this to be true statement and one that I openly share when asked about my work and the CSCGM. If you have not already done so, please visit the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami to learn more about what we do every day. Become an advocate for our mission. Donate to a Program. Volunteer. Attend another signature event. Join a committee. Talk to the members of our Board of Directors. Take a tour. Tell a cancer patient about our FREE support groups and services. Be a Champion too! Danielle F. Spiegelman Executive Director, Cancer Support Community Greater Miami 21 HeArT & StAr AwArD DinnEr Cancer Support Communities Throughout the world The Cancer Support Community Greater Miami is a member of the largest non-profit international network providing cancer support worldwide.
