Caring For Life

Caring For Life Caring For Life is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides financial and emotional assistance to families in Warren County with seriously ill children.

The children's diagnoses range from congenital heart defects to various forms of cancer. CFL reimburses for travel expenses as well as the cost of medical appointments. Also, when a child is sent to Pittsburgh or Erie in an emergency situation, CFL sends the family a care package since most families are unprepared with toiletries, clothing, and things to entertain their child/children. CFL does no

t discriminate based on the parents' income. The organization recognizes that even in cases where both parents work, the financial stress of caring for a seriously ill child can be overwhelming. CFL's goal is to allow families to focus on what truly matters, their child. Below please find a list of items that comprise one care package should you wish to contribute.

We make a pretty good team!πŸ’ž
Thank you to Wicked Warren's for letting us pair up with you for the Freedom Fundraiser 5K! Your support of Caring For Life and our families is admirable.

All monies raised go to Warren County families with seriously ill children as they navigate their children's healthcare. What a beautiful gift you've given to our CFL families. Thank you again!πŸ’•

❀️ COMMUNITY. COMPASSION. IMPACT. ❀️

Today, we had the privilege of presenting a check for more than $6,000 to Caring for Lifeβ€”the proceeds from this year's Freedom Fundraiser 5K & Kids Dash held on July 3rd.

What started as an idea to bring our community together has become something much greater: neighbors helping neighbors and making a real difference in the lives of local families.

On behalf of Wicked Warren's, Susanne Klein, Julie Dalton and Rob Roth, were honored to present the donation to Darbee Harrington and Lori McNeal of Caring for Life.

Also joining us were two incredible families whose lives have been touched by Caring for Lifeβ€”the Phillips family and the Bevevino family. Their stories remind us exactly why this event matters and why our community continues to show up year after year.

This donation would not have been possible without:
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Every runner and walker who braved the heat.
πŸ‘Ÿ Every child who raced in the Kids Dash.
🎢 Our amazing entertainers.
🀝 Our generous sponsors.
πŸ™Œ Our incredible volunteers.
❀️ And everyone who came downtown to support the event.

Together, you helped raise more than $6,000 to assist Warren County families caring for critically ill children.

From the bottom of our hearts... thank you.

We can't wait to see everyone back at next year's Freedom Fundraiser as we continue building a tradition that celebrates our community while changing lives.
