Tyler DeMarco Foundation has been making a difference for children with cancer since 2010! This year, we continue that mission with a $50,000.00 donation split between our two remaining primary objectives.
1. $25,000.00: Children’s Hospital at Albany Medical Center Supporting ‘Tyler DeMarco Foundation Endowment’ for Journeys Program –
$25,000.00 donation to The Children’s Hospital at Albany Med.

This program provides support for families with children that are facing a cancer diagnosis by offering complete medical, psychosocial and spiritual palliative care aimed at lessening a child’s pain. The goal is to help the child manage symptoms and negative feelings while focusing on their quality of life and also providing emotional support to the entire family during this time.
2. $25,000.00: St Jude Children’s Research Hospital Supporting Medulloblastoma Cancer Research –
$25,000.00 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
(L to R) The DeMarco’s – Don, Ryan, Sarah, Pam, Tyler (Always)
New advancements and treatment protocols developed by St. Jude become the standard protocol of care world-wide. While there are many vital components crucial to the treatment, care, and well-being, of childhood cancer patients it’s the research that will find the cure.
The goals we have attained as a foundation and the objectives we continue to support and achieve come from the heart and mind of an amazing 12 year old boy who never had his chance to make this happen. With broken hearts, we are fulfilling Tyler’s Wish.
