Founder's Corner

From the Desk of Crystal Kauffman

Thank you for taking the time to stop by our website. For five years, I have dreamed of expanding my support group and community into a legal non-profit organization. I am excited to announce that my dream came true on November 25, 2006, when I registered the Laugh at Cancer Organization Inc. with the State of Florida as a non-profit charity or a (501) (3) (c). However, I am still working on registering with the IRS, which will take time.

Today, we have created many projects that are planting seeds of hope in every family we meet. Personally, I am humbled by the outpouring our love and passion that many families have shown towards me and my vision. In addition, I honestly appreciate the many contributions from every member, supporter, visitors, and volunteers. Therefore, I would like to invite you to help us make a difference in the lives of families facing cancer.

Meaning of Our Name

I named the Laugh at Cancer Organization Inc. for many different reasons, yet these are the main ones. First, I wanted this non-profit organization to focus on the celebration life, no matter what each of us face as a family. Second, as I grew up, my grandfather taught me to laugh when times got rough and never give up on myself.

Third, I wanted this community to be a positive place for members and visitors to come for support or encouragement throughout his or her journey. Finally, don't let cancer steal your laughter, because together we can make a difference by helping one family at a time. Therefore, these are the main reasons for my choice in naming this non-profit organization.

Wish List

Our organization depends on donations from members & visitors to help us continue to help families in need. We receive no government funding or grants, so consider helping us by sending a donation of cash or small gifts of any kind. Thanks to our contributors, we have been successful in helping families in need. We are hoping to continue our mission each month, but must continue to receive donations for this to be possible.
