2023 IMPACT
Each number this year reflects more than progress — it reflects growth in trust, presence, and purpose. From nearly tripling the number of families supported to expanding our reach within the hospital system, 2023 was the year our impact gained real traction. And compared to where we started, the leap is undeniable.

Celebrating Joy
On December 29th, Fightstrong Foundation had the opportunity to bring joy and support to four deserving patients from the pediatric unit at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. Partnering with the social worker, she gave us a list of four patients and their wish lists – our goal was to fulfill these wishes and provide a source of comfort and joy during their journey.

Fun on the Greens
We were thrilled to witness an impressive turnout of 171 enthusiastic golfers who came together to make our 2nd Annual Golf Outing an overwhelming success. It was truly heartwarming to see so many individuals uniting for our cause, showcasing the power of collective support in our mission to assist those battling cancer.
