Charities

As a family, they collect and accept can tabs at their home all year round. The tabs are recycled at a local salvage yard for cash. This cash is deposited in an account and dispersed yearly to children's medical causes and charitable foundations including, but not limited to:

-Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
-Make-A-Wish
-Children's Tumor Foundation (formerly the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation)
-Children's Specialized Hospital in Toms River, NJ

There are other charities to which they would like to contribute, including the American Cancer Society and Give Kids The World, a children's resort in Florida which caters to the needs of Make-A-Wish recipients. In short, they want to help as many ill children and their families as they can. However, a lot of that depends on the publicity, support (and the tabs...let's not forget the tabs!!) they receive from the public.

Rest assured, this is not a temporary project. The Griggs family will never
be able to say thank you enough to everyone who has helped them out. However, this is a step in the right direction. This is the silver lining they have found in the black cloud that is NF and they are very grateful to anyone and everyone who is willing to go out of their way to help them in their efforts.

These are just a few of the many charities that we donate to. To learn more click on a charity.
