THE MARC JR FOUNDATION PROGRAMS

 

We are a 100%-based volunteer organization that helps families and hospitals around the country and because of the unique services offered by the Marc Jr Foundation and our commitment to the DIPG community, our services are becoming more in demand each day. We are hoping, with your help, to continue these services for families who so desperately need them.

 

If you have questions about any of our programs, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We will be happy to speak to you.

The Marc Jr Foundation is unwavering in our commitment to the families facing a DIPG.  We understand the devastation this diagnosis brings, and we hope to offer families support during this journey.

Marc Jr Foundation has parents, relatives, and friends that have lost a child to a DIPG.  We have experience with the challenges and lack of information on this disease.  We have searched within our own experiences to find a mission that can best help families, caregivers, and researchers affected by this diagnosis.
