FIGHTING FOR A STRONGER FUTURE.

what showing up means

OUR IMPACT

In 2022, Fightstrong Foundation was born out of a deeply personal journey through cancer — a journey that reshaped everything. What began as a fight for one life quickly became a mission to support many.

These annual reports are more than a look back. They represent the lives you've helped us reach, the families who found hope when they needed it most, and the ripple effects of every dollar donated, every event attended, and every sponsor who believed in something bigger than themselves.

Through golf outings, patient donations, hospital partnerships, and countless personal moments, we’ve committed to standing beside those battling cancer — not just once, but for the long haul. And each year, we grow stronger together.

Explore the milestones, meet the fighters, and see how your support has created real, measurable change. This is the impact you made possible.

OUR COMMITMENT

Every action we take is rooted in the belief that real impact isn’t measured by numbers alone, but by presence, consistency, and connection. We believe that support should feel personal — not just during a moment of crisis, but throughout the entire journey. Whether it’s delivering a gift, planning an event, or simply being there to listen, we lead with heart and follow through with purpose. Because real change is built over time — and we’re here for the long haul.

We Show Up

Whether in person or online, we take time to connect with every individual we support. It’s not just about what we give — it’s about how we give it. We believe every interaction should feel human.

Each Dollar Counts

Outside of operations, 100% of our donation funds go directly to cancer fighters. We believe in full transparency and meaningful impact. Your generosity goes exactly where it’s needed most.

Purposeful Partners

We work only with those who want to truly engage with our mission. For us, partnership means presence, not just promotion. Together, we build something bigger than ourselves.

Personal Touch

No donation is one-size-fits-all. Every gift is thoughtfully chosen to bring comfort, joy, and hope when it’s needed most. We go the extra mile to make every effort feel special.


OUR WHY

"Four years ago, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. My world flipped — physically, emotionally, mentally. I lost my strength and my sport. But I also found my purpose. Fightstrong was born out of that pain, and every year, we fight to turn pain into purpose for others. Here’s what we’ve done together."

– Joseph Nigro, President and Founder

Donated in cherishable items—each one selected with purpose to bring joy, comfort, and hope to cancer fighters and their families.
Families supported through direct outreach, meaningful donations, and one-on-one connections tailored to each unique journey.
Of our spending—outside of operational and volunteer-related expenses—goes directly to families in need, ensuring every dollar makes a difference.
From patient visits and shopping to events and planning, our team donated over 600 hours, since September 2022, to make every effort personal and impactful.

ANNUAL REPORTS

Every year of Fightstrong reflects more than milestones — it reflects moments. From the very first donation in 2022 to the partnerships, hospital visits, and life-changing gifts that followed, each chapter represents the growing heart of this mission. As you scroll through our timeline, you'll see not just how we’ve grown — but why. Because behind every event, every number, and every photo is a fighter, a family, and a story worth remembering.

2024

THE YEAR OF IMPACT

In 2024, Fightstrong took bold strides — not just growing, but establishing ourselves as a force for real, lasting difference. From major partnerships to unforgettable patient moments, this was the year we proved how strong our mission truly is.

 

2023

THE YEAR OF GROWTH

2023 was about momentum. With more donations, bigger events, and a growing community of supporters, we began expanding our reach — and turning support into something deeper, more personal, and more powerful.

 

2022

THE YEAR IT ALL BEGAN

Our story started here. What began as one battle became a mission to help others fight theirs. 2022 was our foundation — the first families helped, the first dreams delivered, and the start of something far greater than ourselves.

 

real change starts here

WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER

Everything you’ve seen here — every donation delivered, every event hosted, every life touched — was made possible because someone chose to show up. Someone chose to believe in our mission, to give what they could, and to turn compassion into action.

Now, we invite you to do the same. Whether you donate, volunteer, sponsor, or simply share our story, your support helps fuel what comes next. Together, we can make sure no one fights alone — not this year, not next year, not ever.

Let’s build the next chapter of impact, side by side.
