EAST END CANCER PATIENTS RIDE FREE

To obtain Jitney tickets or to arrange for local taxi transportation, please call the office of Fighting Chance at 631-725-4646.

FREE JITNEY TICKETS FOR CANCER PATIENTS

Now in its 10th year, Fighting Chance gives away several hundred Jitney tickets to cancer patients from the North and South Forks who need to transfer into New York City for specialized treatments. A caregiver may accompany the patient. We strongly recommend that tickets be picked up in person from the Fighting Chance office in Sag Harbor. This program is jointly subsidized by the Hampton Jitney, Friends of Fighting Chance, and the Paul R. Carey Foundation.

FREE TAXI TO LOCAL DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS

Cancer patients can arrange for local taxi transportation from their home to an East End doctor’s appointment and return. They will be taking a Hometown Taxi, which has been in business for 20 years. All of its cabs have a plexiglass shield separating the driver from passengers in the rear seats. Between trips, cabs are also subject to intense sanitizing procedures. This program is jointly subsidized by Fighting Chance and the Hometown Taxi Company.
