About The Frances Pope Memorial Foundation

The Frances Pope Memorial Foundation is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to assist families caring for a child with cancer by helping to pay some of the expenses NOT covered by insurance. Since its inception, the Foundation has assisted countless families in their ordeal of caring for a seriously ill child. The assistance provided has taken on a variety of forms, always with the aim of responding to the unique needs of each individual family. For example, the Foundation has provided travel, accommodations and living expenses for families receiving medical care when away from home; while simultaneously paying rents, mortgages, car payments, and childcare expenses. We also support the Andrew Baeumler Technology Program at Mt. Sinai Medical Center. Established in 1999 by the Frances Pope Foundation, in memory of teenager Andrew Baeumler, this program provides therapeutic computer activities, including access to the Internet, enabling children to “speak” to other kids who are also enduring cancer treatment, as well as offering a wide array of opportunities to create artwork to enhance the quality of life for children during hospitalization. As well, we provide funds to the Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology department at NYU Medical Center to keep a full time Fellow on their staff. This person provides invaluable “hands on” care for children with cancer and blood disorders under the supervision of Faculty who are Board Certified Hematologists/Oncologists.
