Casting for hope's primary purpose is to attend to the financial, emotional, and spiritual needs of women living with and surviving through an ovarian or gynecological cancer diagnosis and treatment, fill service gaps for these women and their families, and nurture women and their caregivers during the cancer journey by presenting a network of related resources. Casting for Hope directors listen to concerns, offer a degree of financial assistance, hold retreats for a time of respite, and distribute ovarian and gynecological cancer educational literature. Through assistance programs, female cancer survivors receive limited financial assistance, retreat opportunities, referrals to other organizations, and resource lists. Funds to sustain these programs are raised through fly-fishing tournaments and sponsorships, 5k walks and runs, concerts and dinners, various community events, private donations and community grants.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
