Our Mission

Who We Are

We are a diverse group of humanitarians who deeply empathize with the devastation childhood cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases bring. Our understanding of how these diseases severely impact the entire family and the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness families are forced to endure once their child is diagnosed is profound. It is our promise to stand alongside these brave children and their families, offering our unwavering support. It is our purpose to EMPOWER the family leaders by providing direction, aid, and the tools needed to help them weather this life storm. It is our promise that these families will NEVER sit alone; they will NEVER stand alone, and they will NEVER FIGHT ALONE!

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 succumbing to childhood diseases.
