About Curren
The Curren foundation, a Florida not for profit corporation and 501(c)(3) entity, was founded in 2018 and begun its partnership with Moffitt Cancer Center in 2019. Its initial efforts have been geographically focused on the Tampa Bay, FL, area.
The foundation has thus far been able to respond quickly to victim needs, as far as its financial circumstances permit. It is the Foundation’s goal to provide victims with assistances at little to no cost to themselves.
The volunteer board members are committed to helping victims of PCD. 100% of funds received have been used to support victims, promote education and awareness, and coordinating the parallel program at Moffitt Cancer Center. If the Foundation is to expand its services in the future, it will need to broaden its base of support. If you are interested in the work of the Foundation or in learning about it or in helping it to expand to other geographical areas – or have other ideas about how we may help victims of PCD- please contact us!
