When Frank DeBlasi was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the age of 29 he was very fortunate to have a wonderful support network, which included family, friends, and co-workers.

Recognizing this was not the case for several warriors battling this disease, the groundwork for a mission centered around children and young adults fighting all types cancer took shape.

The Baller Dream Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that lifts the spirits of children, young adults, and their families battling cancer. Those we serve, we do not call them patients, or beneficiaries, we call them "Ballers". A modern day term that suggests one is doing well, feeling well, and in control, our "Ballers" are incredibly resilient, courageous, and deserving of recognition.

We work very closely with many children's hospitals across the country and provide all sorts of major gifts, experiences, and activities. We have positively impacted the lives of hundreds of Ballers and their families, while building life-long relationships.
