About us
ABF was founded in 2020 with a mission to support children suffering from cancer and other life-threatening diseases while striving to improve their quality of life. Designed around a holistic approach to supporting the needs of the child and the entire family, ABF’s programs focus on filling the educational, social, emotional, and financial gaps experienced by families post-diagnosis. Before passing away at the age of six, Ahmad Butler dreamed of being a police officer and “helping a lot of people.” ABF strives to fulfill his dream. Learn more at https://ahmadbutler.foundation.

Caring for a child diagnosed with pediatric cancer is an overwhelming and emotionally taxing journey. The responsibilities are immense, and often, caregivers find themselves consumed by the demands of their child’s treatment and well-being. While this dedication is natural, it’s crucial to remember that taking care of oneself is not a luxury but a necessity. Self-care is essential for caregivers to sustain their ability to provide the best support for their child. Read our blog for some practical steps and insights on how caregivers can prioritize their well-being during this challenging time. https://buff.ly/3ArF6ok #AhmadButlerFoundation #ChildhoodCancer #PediatricCancer

💡 The Fight With Lights Update! 💡 The Peace Bridge, which connects Buffalo, New York to Fort Erie, Ontario, was built between 1925 and 1927 to symbolize peace and prosperity between the United States and Canada. It was constructed to recognize over 100 years of peace between the countries and has been a major international border crossing for decades. On September 5, 2024, during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, The Peace Bridge will play a pivotal role in The Fight With Lights. By illuminating in yellow, it will serve as a powerful symbol of global unity in the fight against pediatric cancer. You can also join The Fight With Lights this September and be part of a global movement. Show your support by replacing your home's exterior bulbs with yellow ones, or proudly display a yard sign or car flag to spread awareness and inspire others to join the cause.
