Providing a ray of hope to cancer patients.

The Avery Foundation was founded in 2017 to honor Jim and Julie Avery, who lost their battle to cancer. This foundation was created because the Avery family knows firsthand what a toll cancer can take on those battling but also on the family members surrounding them. 

The Avery Foundation helps patients and their families with unexpected expenses of travel, meals, and lodging during their treatments. For example: If your physician refers you to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota we would help pay for fuel, meals while there, and your lodging. Receipts must be kept for meals and lodging and sent in with the Grant Application. These expenses add undue stress to an already stressful time for you. That is why we are here. To relieve some of that stress and let you concentrate all your bodily resources on the battle at hand.
