The "GIVE 3 TO CODE 3" Campaign
Numerous scientific studies have shown that cancer strikes firefighters at an alarmingly higher rate than the general population due to the toxins to which they are exposed in the line of duty as they risk their lives to save others.
The Code 3 for a Cure Foundation (www.c3fac.org) is a national nonprofit 501(c)3 public charity established in 2008 which addresses firefighter cancer. Founded by a firefighter who has fought three different types of cancer and led by an eight-member Board of Directors, its main purpose is to provide financial assistance to firefighters (whether active or retired and whether salaried, paid call, or volunteer) across the United States who are battling cancer and facing a financial hardship.
With your kind support, Code 3 for a Cure will be able to reach its long-time starting goal of $625,000, and can more effectively operate and issue funds to firefighters in need who are stricken with cancer.

PLEASE NOTE: Although our Campaign slogan is "Give 3 to Code 3," GoFundMe recommends minimum donations of $5 based on their fee schedule. If you would like to give less than $5, we ask that you donate through the "Ways to Give" page of our website: www.c3fac.org/give.html
All funds donated through this GoFundMe page (minus fees charged by the third party administrators of the platform) go directly to the Code 3 for a Cure Foundation. Because Code 3 for a Cure is a nonprofit 501(c)3 public charity, all donations are tax deductible. We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor as to the deductibility of your specific donation.
