About Assist-A-Family
The Fans Across America® Charitable Foundation is committed to helping families with seriously ill and special needs children. Our Assist-A-Family Program allows us to provide support to as many families as possible in the following ways:
- Assist-A-Family Profiles: Features families that have current needs due to a child’s illness and encourages the Fans Across America community as well as the family and friends of the designated family to make tax-deductible contributions based on the family's specific needs. To request information about adding a family to the Assist-A-Family page, please email us at
assist-a-family@fansacrossamerica.org. - Assist-A-Family Packages: Based on the current needs of the family, Assist-A-Family packages can include: non-perishable food items and toiletries; new and gently used baby and children's clothes; new and gently used toys; furniture and other household items; gift cards (i.e. groceries, household products, gas); service certificates (i.e. auto service); assistance for other life expenses (i.e. utility bills); airline tickets / miles for families to travel to distant treatments.
As a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization, all contributions made through the Fans Across America Charitable Foundation to assist families are tax-deductible.
