Parents Against Cancer (PAC) is dedicated to
helping children with cancer or blood diseases and their families. Our
board of directors and officers are parents who have experienced the
terrible demands that a child's life-threatening illness can create. We
operate on a very limited budget. Our funds come from parents, friends,
and family of children who have conquered cancer or blood disease. Our
funds provided only a minimal amount of help with the costs of such basics
as medicine, food, utilities, housing, treatment-related transportation
and, in some cases, funeral expenses to the neediest of families. Our only
administrative costs are the printing and mailing of our tri-annual
newsletter, our post office box and a telephone line. All other monies go
directly to support children and families. No board member or officer
receives or expects any compensation.
L.I.S.A Fund (Love, Inspiration, Support & Accomplishment)
The L.I.S.A. fund was established by Tommy Warner and Mary Ann Saiz,
Lisa's parents. It provides funds through Parents Against Cancer, Inc. to
aid families of children being treated for cancer and blood disorders. The
L.I.S.A. fund provides emergency money for the most basic and vital
necessities and services for a family in crisis. Some examples of costs
L.I.S.A. has covered are refrigerators to keep medicine safe, telephone
calls to the hospital, car repair bills to ensure transportation for
treatments, utilities and heaters to keep homes warm, medicine and medical
supplies not covered by insurance, and clothing. It is used to fulfill
children's special wishes and much more. Support families in need by
supporting the L.I.S.A. fund!
How Can I Help?
Often times, friends simply don't know how to help when faced with a
sick child. They feel helpless. They want to do something, but they
don't know what to do. So, the next time a friends ask, "What can I
do?", you may suggest that they make a donation to PAC in your
child's name.
Contribute to PAC through United Way
You may designate PAC as your choice to receive your contributions to
United Way through your employer. Our United Way Agency Designation Code

worthy local causes.
In Lieu Of Flowers
How often when a friend or family member dies do you see a request that
"in lieu of flowers" a contribution may be made to a charity?
Recently, PAC was the beneficiary of such a request. PAC received more
than $1,000 in contributions which we will use to help children with
cancer or blood disorders and their families. Also, from time to time PAC
receives contributions made in memory of a child who has died, or in honor
of a child who has survived a childhood cancer or blood disorder. There
are many opportunities during the year to make a contribution to PAC.
