Thank you for visiting,
The Retired Professional Fire Fighters Cancer Fund Inc. is a non profit 501(C)3 organization committed to raising funds for cancer research programs. We focus on those cancers where there is a higher than normal incidence among Fire Fighters. Although we focus on “Fire Fighter Cancers”, the entire general population will benefit from our efforts because as we all know cancer does not discriminate.
Our fund raising efforts are focused on forming partnerships with active Fire Fighter Unions, retired Fire Fighter Organizations, union organizations, trade organizations, businesses, individuals, and  other groups and organizations willing to support our efforts in eradicating this horrible disease.
Funding will be allocated to those established programs that show the most promise in accomplishing our goals. A review of all potentially funded programs will be conducted by an impartial board of medical professionals.
