The Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children (ACFC) received a $1 million donation commitment to their program from the Londen family. The gift will fund the transformation of ACFC’s program wing, marking a pivotal moment in the organization’s efforts to become a state-of-the-art facility. The upgraded space will further ACFC’s mission, helping provide comprehensive support to families battling pediatric cancer from tutoring to K9 therapy to financial support, ensuring families have access to all the resources they need during a difficult time in their lives.
The partnership between ACFC and the Londen family began in 2018 with the inaugural Tom Londen Golf Classic, an annual golf tournament honoring the family’s late father, Tom Londen. Since its establishment, the event has continued to grow each year, providing vital support to ACFC, helping countless families navigate the challenges of pediatric cancer. Now, with the Londen family’s donation commitment, this partnership enters a new chapter, further solidifying the Londen family and ACFC’s shared dedication to supporting families navigating their pediatric cancer journey and allowing ACFC to amplify its efforts and remain a reliable, steadfast resource.
“Thank you, Londen Family, for your incredible support and commitment to our mission,” says Chrisie Abramo, founder and president of ACFC. “We are immensely grateful for Cheryl, Matt and Caroline, Alex and Tara, Phillip and Katherine, Andy and Josh, Liz and Danny, and the entire Londen family. Your dedication and passion for helping others make a profound difference in the lives of so many. Together, we are making an incredible difference.”
The donation will revamp the program wing of the ACFC facility, a space where children and their families can receive social, emotional, and financial support through counseling, a game room, art rooms, rest and respite areas, and more, furthering their ability to deliver exceptional care and support to the children and families that they serve. Thanks to the generosity of the Londen family, ACFC is making great strides towards becoming a national model for comprehensive pediatric cancer support.
