Financial support to Whatcom residents undergoing cancer treatment
Founded in 1980, the Laurendeau Cancer Care Fund is named after Dr. Theresa Laurendeau, a retired Bellingham Pathologist.

She provided the foundation’s initial funding which has assisted over 500 Whatcom County cancer patients in paying for medical expenses that would otherwise go uncovered.
