Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation
As the official fundraising organization for cancer care in the province, the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation supports Newfoundlanders and Labradorians during their cancer journey. Learn more on their website.
In 2002, 2003 and 2004, Fry Family Foundation made three contributions of $45,000, for a total contribution of $135,000, to the Give To Feel Good Campaign. The purpose of our contribution was to cover the cost of the purchase of High Dose Remote Radiation Equipment. Renovations to accommodate the machine at the Cancer Clinic were required and the equipment was installed at a later date.
In 2007 Fry Family Foundation decided to become a partner with Priority – The Campaign for Cancer Care at the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation. We approved a donation of $25,000 to Priority 2 - the Patient and Family Support Fund. These funds became a part of an endowment fund, which was expected to reach $1,000,000. The Patient and Family Support Fund provides direct support to patients experiencing severe financial distress during cancer treatment – providing them with assistance for transportation back and forth to treatment, groceries, prosthetics, compression garments, and many other dire needs. At the time there were no administrative costs involved and these funds would go directly into the hands of patients and their families.
We are proud that FFF provided funds and support to an organization which has been supporting people in our province during their cancer journey.
