Doreen Katz Memorial Cancer Foundation
The foundation focuses on children whose parents are diagnosed with any form of cancer. We provide grants to cover fees now charged by schools directly to families for everyday services like advanced placement classes science music art field trips all day kindergarten and many others for our families K-12. In addition we have aligned with several therapeutic organizations to offer their services so each child has a voice outside the home. We have been working with families since 2013 and returned to our roots in 2025 by closing our branches in Arizona Illinois and Utah and focusing out of our domiciled state of Colorado.
