ABOUT US
Good Days™ is the fundraising arm of Chronic Disease Fund - which was founded in 2003 by Mike Banigan. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 1992, Mike became all too familiar with the high cost of specialty therapeutics needed to treat and control chronic disease. Mike founded Chronic Disease Fund so that underinsured patients could have access to the new, breakthrough medications and treatments that help patients live longer, happier, more productive lives.
Our Mission
The fund-raising arm of Chronic Disease Fund - the nation's largest copay organization - Good Days™ is one of the few charitable organizations that provides financial assistance and medication to patients who cannot afford the medications they so desperately need. Chronic Disease Fund exists solely to improve the health and quality of life of patients with chronic disease, cancer, or other life-altering conditions. We believe that no one should have to choose between getting the medication they need and affording the necessities of everyday living.
How We Work
Efficiently. We pay the patient's out of pocket costs directly to their pharmacies and doctors, so they get their medications on the spot, and without excessive paperwork. 91% of your donation goes directly to these patients.
Chronic Disease Fund quickly became the largest copay organization in the country. In 2010, we helped more than 90,000 people get the medications they needed.
Financials
Donations to Chronic Disease Fund are made through a number of sources in and outside the healthcare industry, including corporate and individual contributors.
Partners
We work with specialty pharmacies all over the country to make copay assistance easier.
Events
Chronic Disease Fund builds powerful partnerships through their annual Partnership Conference and Gala.
Though most chronic disease patients have insurance, it's estimated that over 30% cannot afford the expensive copayments.
