Our MISSION

The mission of the Gracie Fund for Pediatric Cancer is to support people and organizations that improve the lives of children with life threatening cancer

About Us

The Gracie Fund for Pediatric Cancer ("Gracie Fund") was launched to honor the sacrifices and struggles of everyone touched by childhood cancer and by our profound pride in our own daughter, Grace, as we hold her hand through her journey.

We can tell you from our first-hand experience that there are many wonderful pediatric cancer charities out there. However, our experience also showed us that there are those whose needs go unanswered in some circumstances. The Gracie Fund looks for those people and needs that may have been overlooked or “slipped through the cracks.” Specifically, the Gracie Fund targets local, unmet needs, where funds will be deployed in a rapid reaction fashion. This is how relatively few dollars can have a big impact.

Our mission is executed by adhering to our core values, in order: Community, Education and Gracie Fund “C.E.G.” Bringing the Community together is the most important first step in executing the fund’s mission. Then, raising awareness and Educating our community about pediatric cancer and specifically how to help these children will galvanize the support we need to allow the Gracie Fund to succeed in its mission of helping cancer-stricken children and their families.

Oncology medical massage is shown to help with pain management for children suffering with cancer.  Many insurers do not cover this expense, but the Gracie Fund will help ensure children have access to such pain-relieving therapy.  This is especially important in the palliative and hospice care settings.

Strict compliance with home chemotherapy treatments could mean the difference between relapse and a long, healthy life.  While parents are doing their best, some of these treatments have complex dosing schedules and the stress of caring for a child with cancer can be crippling.  The Gracie Fund will help provide parents with tools to make medication compliance easier.
