It’s HOLIDAY SEASON and we won’t be able to accept cranes until January. Thanks!

There is an old Japanese tradition that 1,000 origami paper cranes will bring good luck, including good health. Our goal is to provide boxes of 1,000 cranes to cancer patients and anyone with serious physical or mental health needs. The 1,000 cranes bring hope and uplift spirits. We've been doing this for many years, but we need help in making cranes.

AND...if you know of a person who would benefit from receiving a GIFT of 1,000 origami paper cranes, please send an e-mail with a name and mailing address, and we will send your dear friend or family member 1,000 paper cranes of hope and healing.

DONATE: There is no charge or any fees, although we now accept donations through PayPal or Zelle at kdgrinfeld@gmail.com. Thank You!

Inquiries: kdgrinfeld@gmail.com

Please email for mailing address to send cranes, and include a note with your NAME and RETURN ADDRESS to:

Karen Grinfeld

In loving memory...

In December, the Cranes for Cancer community sent 1000 cranes to Audrey, and we are saddened to learn of her passing at the end of January.  With the help of her good friend, Paula, the cranes were placed in a large basket and became part of Audrey’s memorial service, or “launch party” as she preferred to call it. Everyone in attendance selected a crane to remember Audrey, “a beautiful and very colorful soul...and a courageous warrior in the battle against cancer.”  Our thanks to Paula for sharing Audrey's story.

Cranes for Cancer is honored to have contributed some joy and beauty to Audrey’s journey and comfort to her friends through the legendary promise of 1000 origami cranes.
