The Valerie Fund has supported comprehensive health care services for children with cancer and blood disorders since 1976. The seven Valerie Fund Centers are located in major hospitals in New Jersey and treat more than 5,000 patients annually. The Valerie Fund treats the medical, emotional, social, and developmental needs of children with cancer and has a staff of counselors, psychologists and specialists who treat the entire family.

“We were astounded by the generosity New Jersey auto dealerships have exhibited for the children of The Valerie Fund. The $1.3 million raised over the last two years has allowed us to expand our services to treat our children and families. We are thankful for the continued support for a 2016 New Jersey Auto Retailers Unite campaign,” said Bunny Flanders, director of Marketing and Communications at The Valerie Fund.
