About this organization
Mission
For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting respite experiences.
About
In FY19, FPS assisted 256 patients and provided respite experiences to 154 families. FPS offers young adult cancer patients ages 24 to 50, and their families a retreat from the unyielding physical and emotional demands of cancer by providing expense paid respite vacations to address the psychological, emotional, economic and spiritual trauma associated with a cancer diagnosis. To be eligible for the program, a patient must be nominated by a member of his/her oncology team. FPS nominators use clinical assessment factors to best identify patients in need of respite. New nominators participate in a short educational program about the mission of FPS. Some nominators serve as members of the FPS program advisory committee, charged with overseeing the entire patient program, program guidelines, and clinical assessment factors. Our top three nominating medical institutions include Crozer Chester Medical Center, Penn Abramson Cancer Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center.
