Mission Statement
The Talbert Family Foundation is dedicated to providing financial assistance to local families with members suffering from catastrophic illnesses, primarily cancer. We try to locate families that need financial assistance and provide funds without any strings attached through a program we call "TFF Kids".
Description
In addition to the TFF Kids program, the Talbert Family Foundation also produces events to raise general funds. These events include the Calabasas Classic 5k/ 10k runs held each November and the Calabasas Classic Golf Tournament. These funds are used to fund the TFF Kids program.
TheTalbert Family Foundation does not do advocacy work per se', but we do work in the community to bring awareness to the hardships caused to families by cancer. Everyone understands the hardships. In fact, most people have dealt with it either directly in their immediate family or indirectly, through their extended family and friends. We just try taking that awareness and making it a call to action, both in initial identification of candidate families and helping out once a program gets underway.
Since inception, we have never had to turn away a family nominated for the program and are actively seeking new families for the program.
We hope our message is compelling to the community and we will be able to continue to identify and help families in our community.
