About CFL

The Cancer Foundation League (CFL) is affiliated

cancer.
MISSION
The Mission of the Cancer Foundation League (CFL) is to provide services to area cancer patients
and also to support the Louisiana Cancer
Foundation.
Our Motto is Seldom Seen, but Strongly Felt.
The CFL is affiliated with the Louisiana
Cancer Foundation as a fundraising arm to
help with outreach and to support the Foundation’s
programs and services. We aim to provide
direct financial assistance to individuals
diagnosed with cancer.
The CFL is committed to improving
the financial,
emotional, and physical well-being
of cancer
patients in Northeast Louisiana.
We hope
to help lighten the financial
burden so that
a patient and his/her family
can concentrate
their efforts on fighting the
disease of
cancer.
WHAT WE DO
The Cancer Foundation League (CFL) has one primary fundraiser a year, a Gala.
One hundred percent of all funds raised are
distributed locally in Northeast Louisiana.
In 2010, we expanded our fundraising efforts
to include a 5K Run and the 1st annual “Theresa
Marsala Golf Tournament.”
Of the funds raised through these events,
sixty percent (60%) of the funds go to the
CFL for patient services to help patients
with costs such as medication expenses, transportation
to and from treatments, utility bills, medical
equipment, car notes, and mortgage or rent
payments. In addition, the funds are used
to help with our annual Christmas baskets
that are distributed to area patients we
have helped in the previous year. Forty percent
(40%) of raised funds are given to the Louisiana
Cancer Foundation to help with their programs,
such as support groups, providing 4 free
public cancer screenings a year, and grants.

Foundation, visit their website at www.louisianacancerfoundation.org.
To be eligible for assistance, you must be
a cancer patient who lives in Northeast Louisiana
or who is receiving cancer treatment in Northeast
Louisiana. If you qualify, you can complete an application.
