SearchDedicated to Discovering a Cure
for Carcinoid and related Neuroendocrine Cancers
The mission of the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation (CFCF) is to discover a cure for carcinoid cancer and related neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Our vision is to eliminate the suffering of patients, families, and caregivers affected by carcinoid and related NETs.
CFCF directs 100% of all individual donations to breakthrough scientific research. This is made possible by the generous support of CFCF's Board of Directors and corporate sponsors. Since its inception, CFCF has awarded over 5 million dollars in research grants to leading scientists at renowned institutions.
Run, Bike, Swim to a Cure!
The season for running, cycling, and swimming events is upon us! Join Team CFCF in any number events nationwide to race for a cure.
Team CFCF is currently recruiting for the following events: Breezy Point Triathlon (VA), Swim Across America (MA), Pan-Mass Challenge (MA), Chicago Marathon (IL), and Marine Corps Marathon (DC). Join Team CFCF to raise awareness for carcinoid cancer and related neuroendocrine tumors and raise much needed funds for scientific research. 100% of every dollar raised goes to cutting-edge carcinoid cancer and neuroendocrine tumor research.
We are proud to be a BBB Accredited charity! CFCF meets all 20 Wise Giving Alliance standards for charity accountability established by the Better Business Bureau. Click here to check out the CFCF Wise Giving Report.
