Who We Are
We are a diverse group of humanitarians who understand the devastation childhood cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases leave in its trails, how these diseases severely impact the entire family, and the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness families are forced to live with once their child is diagnosed. It is our promise to fight alongside these brave children and their families. It is our purpose to HOLD UP the family leaders by providing direction, aid, and the tools needed to help them to endure this HORRID life storm. It is our promise that these families will NEVER sit alone; they will NEVER stand alone; and they will NEVER FIGHT ALONE!
Our Mission
To support the needs of children with cancer and other life threatening
diseases while aiding in the improvement of their quality of life.
Our Vision
ABF envisions a world free of childhood cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases, one where parents can enjoy the beautiful sound of their child’s laughter and never have to fret about them succumbing to childhood diseases.
Our Values
Integrity
We will carry out our mission with humility, self respect, and respect for others by exhibiting the courage to stand firm and do what is right in the face of wrong, and by supporting what’s right regardless of the opposition.
