The bag is offered in both English and Spanish Bicultural, and in collaboration with other organizations there are some cancer-specific bags available. We are proud to announce we have provided the Bag It Bag to over 97,680 cancer patients and their families. Bag It Bags are distributed to patients through oncology and radiology offices, clinics, hospitals, tribal health centers, nonprofit organizations, and other medical facilities in Arizona, Nebraska, Montana, Texas and expanding across the United States. Individuals across the U.S. also request and order bags directly from Bag It for themselves or to send as a gift. On feedback surveys patients continue to report Bag It was helpful in assisting them to cope with their cancer, worry less, be more organized, and they were better able to communicate with their healthcare team. We continue to partner with a local AZ non-profit, The Beacon Group, which provides jobs for people with disabilities to assemble and ship the Bag It Bag.

Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12c Members of the Board of Directors sign a conflict of interest policy statement annually. There is also a conflict of interest statement in the volunteer handbook. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the Directors and members of committees with Governing Board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the Governing Board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. An interested person may make a presentation at the Governing Board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chairperson of the Governing Board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Governing Board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested Directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Organizations best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. If the Governing Board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the members response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the Governing Board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
