When Beverly Branch and Lyn Walsh both lost their mothers to
cancer, it sparked an even bigger flame under their get-goingand
do-something spirit. In 1999, 10 years after first joining
forces as volunteer philanthropists/horsewomen/entrepreneurs,
Lyn Walsh and Beverly Branch created Careity Foundation in
2003 to honor the memory of their mothers. Lyn and Beverly
recognized the void in services for cancer patients who were
without adequate insurance. As a result, their formidable talents
are aimed at helping cancer patients who have limited resources.
Together they have received recognition and awards for their
unique approach providing care for local cancer patients.
