Support organization
Be the Fight Foundation raises funds to support children and families during and after pediatric-cancer treatment. Illinois families may use a live online form to request individualized help, including direct payment of an approved bill to the company shown on the bill; Chicagoland and surrounding communities receive priority. The foundation also presents three separate education scholarships: an annual Lyons Township High School award and two newer awards for pediatric-cancer patients or siblings that are still marked coming soon. Assistance limits, eligible bill categories, post-treatment timing, and scholarship geography are not fully published. The public site offers a contact form but no organization phone, email, translated content, or family-resource library.
