Moving Forward With Your Financial Health, Part I:
Regaining Control of Your Finances Post-Cancer

The SAMFund is thrilled to announce the launch of our newest program: a brand new Webinar series designed to help young adults regain their financial footing after cancer.

The first one, Moving Forward With Your Financial Health, Part I: Regaining Control of Your Finances Post-Cancer, is available online now. CLICK HERE >

Please take a few moments to fill out our pre-Webinar and post-Webinar surveys.

We're excited to welcome George Padula, a Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Analyst from Modera Wealth Management, as our first presenter. He knows that YAs have little to no savings, ongoing credit card and medical debt, and all sorts of other expenses to contend with. With that in mind, he'll talk about setting short-term financial goals, figuring out how to budget, and eventually becoming comfortable enough to start thinking about longer-term goals like retirement savings.

If you're curious to learn more about this Webinar or why we think it's important, check out this recent blog post.

Thanks and please share the link with anyone you know who might benefit!
