Mission
The goal of the Fighting Children’s Cancer Foundation (FCCF) is to provide emotional and financial assistance to children afflicted with cancer and to their families. We are committed to supporting the families in their efforts to improve the quality of the ill child’s life. Another objective of the FCCF is to heighten awareness of the plight of these children and their families to generate additional support for the Foundation’s efforts.

The FCCF Executive Board of Directors consists of individuals from the public and private business community who are dedicated to the cause and are willing to actively promote the Foundation. The Board and Executive Staff are committed to creating and maintaining a Foundation that will make a positive impact in the lives of children and their families.

Organization Profile
The Fighting Children’s Cancer Foundation (FCCF) was founded upon Gregory Porcino’s vision to help those truly in need. After discussing the concept of a foundation with family members, friends, and business associates, the decision was unanimous to form the FCCF.

The FCCF is a 501C3 non-profit corporation.

Our Address is:
Fighting Children’s Cancer Foundation
151 Main Street
Flemington, NJ 08822

Phone:(908) 429-2121
Funds to provide assistance to the families in need and to maintain the Foundation will be generated by fund raising activities such as dinners, auctions, walks/runs and an annual golf event. In addition, private and corporate donations will be solicited.

As part of our outreach program to children afflicted with cancer, the Foundation is committed to offering the opportunity of continuing education scholarships to qualifying individuals.

History

Since the formation of the Foundation in 1998, we have helped families of children afflicted with cancer. This relief has been provided through direct financial contributions to defray medical costs, assistance towards travel expenses for medical treatments, the purchase of Holiday gifts, College Scholarships, home care necessities, and personal items that have brightened an ill child’s world.

We have continued to expand our outreach by forming alliances with other non-profit institutions that share similar missions. These organizations include Angel Flights, The Make a Wish Foundation, The Institute for Children with Cancer and Blood Disorders, Healing Spaces, and the Valerie Children's Centers. Our development of positive working relationships with institutions that strive to improve children’s lives allows us to offer greater support services to our families in need

The FCCF has grown a support base of over 1600 individuals throughout the state. We receive support in the form of cash donations, volunteers, gifts in kind, sponsorships, and employee matching fund contributions.
