“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” - Nelson Mandela
JoAnn B. Ficke led a very significant life of making a difference to others. The JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation is a Colorado nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that was founded in her honor in 2009 by Bill and Dan Ficke. Proceeds from the Foundation's efforts go to create awareness for the treatment, cure and research of cancer and also to assist organizations in Colorado that provide support for families of those dealing with cancer. Every penny donated to the JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation stays in Colorado. We understand fighting cancer can be very scary and very lonely. Sadly, the families of cancer patients often encounter different hardships when their loved ones become ill, such as difficulty paying for rent, utilities or temporary housing to be near their loved one who is undergoing treatment. These difficulties place additional stress on the patients at the worst time.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
In 2023, we topped the $1.94 million mark for funds you have helped us to raise since through “Big Bill’s NY Pizza 9/11 Day of Giving” annual event to support outstanding Colorado charities working to fight against cancer in our community! When we started the foundation in 2009, we never dreamed we could have this level of impact, but we because of the generosity from our customers and friends, we have provided hope and comfort to daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, wives, husbands, moms and dads in some of their darkest hours
