Remembering Ben Ries: 20 Years of Inspiration

As we approach June 1, we honor the memory of Ben Ries, the brave young boy who inspired the creation of the Aiming for a Cure Foundation. This June marks 20 years since Ben's passing. Though he left a hole in our hearts, his faith, courage, and legacy continues through AFAC. 
 
In tribute to Ben and the countless children and families facing the challenges of cancer, we invite you to donate $20 in his memory. With your donation we can help improve the quality of life for these children and families who are dealing with difficult times and decisions, through the funding of research, covering non-insured expenses, and improving patient care.
 
Join us in Ben's legacy.
Together, we can continue making a difference - one child and family at a time.
