Tony Foundation is a non-profit corporation originally formed in Austin, Texas. We provide critical financial assistance to families affected by cancer. This program provides gap funding to assist with various expenses for families whose primary income earners, in their most productive years, have been diagnosed with cancer and are unable to continue employment. According to oncology professionals, income is the #1 need for the majority of patients and their families during the toughest battle of their lives. We seek to Make an Impact on these patients by helping to eliminate this financial burden so the patient can focus on what's most important, their health and their family.

I was faced this very predicament – first, when I was diagnosed in my 20's, with renal cell carcinoma – and again, two years later, when I was diagnosed with brain cancer (completely unrelated to the renal cancer). I understand the struggle of facing a sudden battery of tests, treatments and surgeries (even an awake brain craniotomy at MD Anderson), while being unable to continue my career due to cancer. Immediate expenses piled up fast, adding to an already intense level of stress and worry for all those around me. PLEASE JOIN US in our mission to help make a direct impact on these families that need our donations.
