Our Mission
The Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded by New York Yankees First Baseman Anthony Rizzo. Anthony realized during his own battle with cancer that no matter how difficult fighting cancer was for him, it was even more difficult for his family. Anthony believes that an individual does not battle cancer alone, but that the whole family battles it together. The mission of the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation is to raise money for cancer research and to provide support to children and their families battling the disease. All of us at the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation believe that every family deserves a fighting chance.
