HCM OVERVIEW
Celebrating courage and advocacy
HCM Foundation was awarded the CHASE award by Fox Chase Cancer Center. This award stands for Courage, Heart, Advocacy, Service, Education and recognizes those who go above and beyond in their commitment to improve the lives of cancer survivors and their supporters. We want to thank everyone who supports our mission and allows us to genuinely be there when families need it most.
Mission
It is our mission to provide opportunities and financial support to cancer patients, survivors, and their families. We are committed to enhancing the quality of life for those afflicted with cancer by connecting those in need of assistance with those willing to offer support.
Vision
During the next few years we want to grow HCM into our surrounding local communities and build long lasting, comforting, and meaningful relationships that will support those who are significantly impacted by cancer, ensuring they never feel alone in their journey.
Values
Our values are rooted in compassion, support, and empowerment. We believe in providing not just financial assistance, but also a sense of community for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. Together, we strive to uplift those affected by cancer.
The back story to HCM
The HCM Foundation was founded in October 2009 in memory and honor of Harvey C. Marsteller (HCM). In 1983, Harvey died of stage 4 colon cancer at the age of 30. At the time, he was married and had two sons, one and five years old. When Harvey died, their family became a single-parent family led by their mother, who bore the responsibility of not only grieving her husband but continuing to work, provide, and raise two children. It was through the support of family and friends that made their journey a little bit easier.
Cancer significantly impacts people and families in many different ways. The HCM Foundation was created to remember Harvey's life and as a resource that cancer patients can turn to for financial assistance along their journey.
