Executive Director at Doreen Katz Memorial Cancer Foundation - Centennial, Colorado, United States
The Doreen Katz Memorial Cancer Foundation is a unique organization focused on children whose parents are either battling cancer or have lost the battle by providing for their education and general support. In today's world, school districts throughout the country are now charging fees for items that were once a part of a regular education. Items such as taking an Advanced Placement Class or playing sports after school or Science and Technology fees. These fees are often out of reach for families dealing with the extra costs of chemotherapy and other cancer treatments. The Foundation steps in to make sure that children of these families still have access to a complete education. In addition, the Foundation has a network of therapists specializing in Grief therapy ready to work with the children and the family to make sure that everyone understands the diagnosis and what will be happening during the treatment cycle.
