Marc Jr Foundation Grant Program

We work closely with the social workers at the Children’s Hospitals around the country, identifying families in need of financial services. The Marc Jr Foundation provides services ranging from financial grants to families who are in need of help with co-pays to helping a family without life insurance pay for their child’s burial expenses. Our Board understands the unexpected costs associated with having a child diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

Marc Jr Foundation Educational Information

We are unwavering in our commitment to not only the families facing a DIPG, but also to doctors and social workers, ensuring they have educational information to share at the time of diagnosis. We understand the devastation this diagnosis brings and we hope to offer families support during this journey. Today, the Marc Jr Foundation’s educational binders are an invaluable resource that help doctors and staff work together with the family to create a plan for the care of the child who has been diagnosed with DIPG cancer.
