Families with Children Affected by Cancer Can Apply for Grant

A Northern Virginia non-profit organization is offering financial assistance to families whose children are affected by cancer.

The 2 Young Foundation (2YF), based out of Vienna, was founded to promote awareness for pediatric cancers. The organization is offering grants for treatments that are not covered by insurance.

The number and amount of grants will be determined by how much money is raised through community donations. Grant selection is based on financial need and an applicant essay. Applicants also have to provide financial information.

Applications must be postmarked on or before July 31. Applications can be sent to 3050 Chain Bridge Road, Suite 201, Fairfax, Va. 22030. Applications can be downloaded on the right. For more information about the organization, visit www.2YF.org.
