CTN

When you're battling cancer, getting transportation to your appointments shouldn't be something you have to worry about. Thanks to the generosity of Cathy Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, it isn't!

"Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana is proud to partner with CTN to support individuals facing cancer. Thanks to the generous gift from the Cathy Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, patients can access reliable transportation to critical medical appointments and treatments, reducing barriers to care when they need it most." - Mary Shankster, President & CEO, Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana.

Thank you, Cathy Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, for making free rides for cancer patients a reality.

Local brews. Good friends. Rides that make a difference.

Explore Fort Wayne’s b**r scene at CTN’s Hop On Brew Tour, presented by Christen Souers! Grab your friends and let CTN handle the driving as you hop on and off at participating stops, including:

🍺 2Toms Brewing Company
🍺 dot & line brewing company
🍺 Draft Taproom & Coffee
🍺 Fortlandia Brewing Company
🍺 Hop River Brewing Company
🍺 Mad Anthony Brewing

Our friend Ken at Fortlandia said it best: "We have chosen to participate for a number of reasons. First, we are a small business and don't have much money for charitable donations. This enables us to help the community with what we can offer. Second, the crowds that we get from this are generally great people to talk to. We have gained new customers from this event. Lastly, our bartenders always look forward to a busy day in an otherwise pretty slow time of year!"

Every ticket supports CTN’s work connecting seniors and people with disabilities to medical care and their community. Come find a new favorite spot while helping your neighbors get where they need to go!

A dependable ride can open the door to medical care, greater independence and meaningful connection to the community.

The Lutheran Foundation understands how important that connection is. Their generous support helps CTN ensure seniors and people with disabilities can continue reaching the places and services that matter in their lives.

Thank you, Lutheran Foundation, for helping us keep our community moving!
