Driven by our own experience, we established the Finley Forever Foundation in July 2021, aiming to pay forward similar compassion and benevolence that our family received. Through generous donations, we provide financial assistance to families battling pediatric cancer. Our goal is to offer a sense of relief and comfort, so families can prioritize the well-being of their child. As we continue to secure funds, we aim to expand our reach to more families in the Chicagoland area and are committed to extending our support as far as our resources allow.

 

We partner with Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, with specific support for oncology patients and workers. In addition to financial contributions, we provide patients going through stem cell treatment with Stem Cell Courage Kits – bags filled with goodies and gift cards for both children and their parents. Furthermore, we organize gift card drives and multiple fundraising events. We also supply coffee for the staff break room on the inpatient oncology floor. In collaboration with other foundations, we founded the Lights and Ladders Brigade. This annual event brings volunteers together to decorate the homes of families facing cancer or other illnesses during the Christmas season.

 

If you or someone you know is facing a cancer diagnosis, please review the eligibility page and have your loved one’s healthcare team contact us.
