Stanley Matthews, a Greek-American businessman, established GCF in 1983 after a personal experience sensitized him to the needs of families coping with cancer. Mr. Matthews made a pact with a young cancer patient to provide emotional and financial assistance to these families. As one of the first, non-profit, philanthropic organizations of its kind in the U.S. Greek-American community, GCF assists an average of 500 pediatric and adult cancer patients a year.The driving forces behind the growth and development of this dynamic organization have been the efforts of its dedicated volunteers and the financial support of the Greek-American community. The GCF committee is comprised of over 25 members who strive to brighten the lives of children with cancer and their families. The majority of these families come from Greece and Cyprus seeking treatment for life threatening illnesses. These volunteers organize fundraisers such as dinner dances, telethons, walkathons and concerts to raise money and keep the patients hope alive. To further assist the Greek-American community, GCF established a relationship with Schneider's Children Hospital in October 1998. Since then, GCF has assisted an excess of 200 Greek-American patients and their families at Schneider’s. In 1998, 'Hope for Life' GCF’s Young Adult Division (GCF YAD) was created. This division is comprised of college and graduate students who volunteer their time and services to provide emotional and financial assistance to the pediatric patients being treated at MSKCC and SCH. GCF YAD functions as a separate entity with their own board and committee members. Their diligent efforts build awareness about GCF among young adults in the Greek-American community.
