Friends of Fox Chase Cancer Center

The Friends of Fox Chase Cancer Center is made up entirely of staff and faculty from the Institution. Money raised by this dedicated group goes directly to fund patient comfort and complementary care items, scholarships, facility improvements, and more.

All Fox Chase employees are invited to join the Friends! Membership dues are $10 per year, or $100 for Lifetime membership. As our thanks for your support, every new and renewal membership will receive a 10% discount card, good for 5 separate purchases at Karen’s Korner gift shop. Some restrictions apply.

The group’s primary fundraising efforts take place in the hospital gift shop, Karen’s Korner. Proceeds from all sales go to Fox Chase. The Friends Chapter also facilitates the opportunity for visiting vendors to sell their own inventory of jewelry, specialty foods, clothing, books, and more, and donate percentages of their profits back to the Institution. Throughout the year, the Chapter also hosts popular events including a cash bingo, seasonal raffles and more.

For more information, contact Chapter President Linda Hammell at [email protected] or Membership Chairwoman Barb Tait at [email protected]. Join the Friends today!
