The Sprout Love Financial Assistance Fund is part of the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor's initiative to alleviate the financial strain experienced by those impacted by cancer. Founded in memory of Maureen McCurren, who bravely battled breast cancer, Sprout Love offers assistance for basic living expenses to families undergoing cancer treatment.
