Providing HOPE for Families Fighting Cancer

The Dean Michael Clarizio Cancer Foundation was founded by its namesake, Dean, during his personal battle with cancer in 2005.  The 501(c)3 non-profit foundation is tirelessly operated by Dean’s family and friends who volunteer their time and talents in an effort to carry out his vision; helping others who face the challenges of cancer with financial, spiritual, and emotional support.  Given the changing times and the rising costs of healthcare there is an astounding number of cancer patients in need of financial assistance. To help families in need to mitigate these costs, the DMCCF hosts four annual fundraising events with the 100% of the proceeds going directly to the individuals and families during their battle with cancer. 

Before, during, and after events you can always donate to help our heroes.

Most of us are fortunate enough to just wake up every morning healthy, but for many people that is an impossibility. The DMCCF, with your help, assists our heroes in overcoming the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis.

​"A hero is an ordinary individual that finds the strength to ​persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."
- Christopher Reeve
