Griffin’s
Friends is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to providing
support to children stricken with cancer. Founded in 1994 in
Springfield, Massachusetts, Griffin’s Friends
is named for Griffin D. Kelleher who passed away at 14 months
of age after a courageous battle with cancer. His legacy is this
special organization which supports, in a unique way, children
in treatment for cancer and their families.
Griffin’s Friends
has created a fund which is endowed by activities like the Marathon
Challenge. Contributions are used in a myriad of ways to make
the lives of these sick children more tolerable. Their hospital
environment and Play Deck have been enhanced by the purchase
of toys and games and the installation of child-friendly furniture
and decor. Activities and entertainment such as holiday parties,
trips and picnics, are provided to bring a little bit of happiness
to the lives of these children at an otherwise difficult time.
Countless acts of kindness are supported by the good works of
Griffin’s Friends. |
