The 2010 Race for Grace and Fireman Chase has been scheduled!  The 5th annual race will be held at Patriot Park in Spotsylvania (same venue as last year) on Sunday, September 12th.  The Race for Grace 5K will begin at 0830 and the gun will sound for the Kid’s 1-Mile Fireman Chase at 0930.

Thanks to our sponsors, this year we have a special prize of $1000 to the athletic program at the school with the most registered runners!  This is not just for kids.  All parents, teachers, and administrators may participate as well and list the school they are sponsoring on the registration form.  All registrations must be received by September 11th to count for the prize, so register early!

We are currently looking for businesses and individuals to sponsor this year’s race, so put your feelers out.  If you, or anyone you know is interested in supporting local families with cancer, please have them contact Alec at 888-900-GOCF (4623) Extension 703 or via email at director@thegocf.org.

If you are interested in helping out with the event, please contact Crystal at 888-900-GOCF (4623) Extension 702 or via email at coughton@thegocf.org.

Grace Oughton Cancer Foundation

Thank you for visiting the Grace Oughton Cancer Foundation and the Loneliest Road Campaign.

The GOCF has taken on three main missions.  First, we are committed to improving local clinical and psycho-social resources for pediatric hematology-oncology patients, that integrates with the primary treatment facility, in the interest of minimizing travel expenses and time away from family, work, and school.  Second, we focus on supporting local families of children fighting cancer by offering direct financial assistance grants to help curb the costs associated with treatment, travel, and loss of income.  Finally, we provide grants to pediatric cancer researchers, who are working tirelessly to find an effective way to eradicate this terrible disease, boasting over $495,000 in research grants to date.  Please help us to fulfill our mission and provide this much-needed service.

The Grace Oughton Cancer Foundation is an all-volunteer organization.  We have no paid staff and we are determined to keep our overhead low so that every dollar raised can go, in it’s entirety, to our cause.

The GOCF is a registered non-stock corporation with the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are tax exempt and a registered charitable 501(c)3 organization with the IRS. Our Federal Tax ID number is 20-5721036. Thank you for your continued support.
