The Catie Hoch Foundation is an all-volunteer organization where every dollar delivers fun for kids and funds for a cure.

 

A child’s cancer diagnosis is devastating and the strains on the family are enormous – emotional, physical and financial.  We strive to help alleviate some of those burdens because we know first-hand what these families are going through.

 

How we've helped make a difference in the lives of children with cancer:

​

• Emergency financial assistance to families of children with cancer

• Pay for housing at the Ronald McDonald House across the country

• Treat kids to lunch and a movie

• Provide gas and food cards

• "Adopt" families of children with cancer during the holidays

• Treat kids to a day off from the hospital

• Purchase medical equipment to help find a cure, and 

• We created the Catiebug Rainforest Bedroom at Albany's Ronald McDonald House

• We donate money to support research at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and for patient assistance at Albany Medical Center Hospital

"It's OK to go places 

even when you are bald!"
