Our Mission Statement & History
Hope & Help for Children with Cancer in New Jersey
Unlike national organizations that fund research, we are an independent, New Jersey based non-profit organization, working hands on with each family. The Ashley Lauren Foundation depends on the support of the community-at-large in order to provide immediate relief for the daily burdens thrust upon those who are battling pediatric cancer.
