Cancer Alliance of Help and Hope

Cancer Alliance of Help and Hope, Inc. is a Palm Beach County not-for-profit organization which eases the burden of qualified local cancer patients by paying a portion of their non-medical bills, supplementing basic needs, and providing support and information resources.

The Cancer Alliance was born out of one couple’s recognition of need and their desire to meet it. Palm Beach County banker Charles Fischer and Greta Jean Fischer, longtime administrator of radiation therapy centers in Arkansas and Florida, had served on local and state boards and committees for a national nonprofit cancer organization for many years. Although a number of groups raised funds for research and other needs, none were providing emergency financial assistance to help cancer patients – and their families — while they were undergoing treatment.
