Janet Vargas Memorial Children's Cancer Fund

The primary objective is to purchase Christmas gifts for all active UNMH children’s cancer clinic patients. The secondary objective is to provide special gifts (wishes) to the Ronald McDonald House and the UNMH Pediatric Oncology Program. The Janet Vargas Memorial Fund serves at the beck and call of both the Children’s Cancer Clinic and the Ronald McDonald House. Both of these fine non-profits provide a tremendous service to the local community and are supported by other non-profits.

The JVMF is the charity that provides those things that represent enhancements to their mission that they would not normally include as a necessity within their own budgets. The JVMF considers these items wishes and as long as these wishes fall within the guidelines of our mission, the JVMF will do everything possible to make sure that these wishes become reality. When something is needed and cannot be afforded the JVMF will work to make these wishes reality. The JVMF sponsors 3 annual parties for pediatric cancer patients and their families: Cliff's Amusement Park, Hinkle Family Fun Center and a Christmas Party at Peter Piper Pizza
