Welcome to Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer.
“Striving to improve the lives of families dealing with childhood cancer. “
Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer (NOFCC) is a registered 
charitable organization based in Sudbury, Ontario and committed to helping families across our Northern Ontario who have a child diagnosed with cancer. Through support groups, bursaries and a variety of other support programs, we provide assistance to families and cancer survivors.
Our mission is to provide hope, support, advocacy and education to families who have a child with cancer.
It is with much excitement that the NOFCC and Vale announce the continuation of ‘The Shine Bright Bursary’ program devised to offer financial assistance to all Northern Ontario children dealing with childhood cancer and their siblings enrolled in a post-secondary institution.
See our Programs page for information on the Shine Bright Bursary Program
Our Stories
Connor's Story
Our eight year old Connor is an avid hockey player but enjoys all sports. On April 3rd, 2007 Connor played his last game of hockey for the year. The next morning he woke up with stomach pain and couldn't go to the washroom.
We thought he had a bladder infection and took him into the emergency at Thunder Bay Regional Health Science Centre. (Kelli Gothard McKinnon,Thunder Bay)

Familes Need Your Help
Often times, organizations such as ours have people with great ideas of how to help people in our communities, but we lack the volunteers to make things happen.
In as little as one hour per month, you can be involved in helping make a positive impact on the lives of people dealing with very difficult times.
