October - 1978
40 years ago cancer came into our lives.
The Mauti Cancer Fund is a unique organization made up of 100% volunteers (no administrative costs) dedicated to fighting cancer.
our story
In October of 1978, I learned that my father had been diagnosed with lung cancer. It took his life and my heart on November 16, 1979.
Our goal is to continue to develop partnerships with local cancer institutions in a concerted effort to provide cancer awareness, education, screenings and individual needs support to our local cancer community. We believe early detection is our best chance to fight this dreaded disease.
our Mission
Educating the public on cancer prevention, detection and treatment
- Providing service to the community by addressing areas of need, and initiating programs to address those needs
- Forming strategic alliances with other cancer-fighting organizations
- Utilizing all the funds raised to advance the fight against cancer.
