LIVE4TAY FOUNDATION

The Live 4 Tay Foundation was founded in September, 2012 in memory of 16 year old Taylor Filorimo, from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Taylor was diagnosed at the age of 13 with Renal Cell Carcinoma, Papillary Type II, a form of kidney cancer typically found in men over the age of 50. She is the youngest known case ever diagnosed. Tay loved softball & supported her team from the hospital or the dugout, even when she couldn’t play. Her friends started the Play 4 Tay softball tournament as a way to help support her family while she was getting treatment. The Live 4 Tay Foundation is a community-based organization dedicated to raise awareness for childhood cancer through advocacy and education, and by raising and disbursing funds to provide financial assistance to families who have children with cancer and to organizations that are leading innovative research for the prevention and cure of childhood cancers. The Live 4 Tay Foundation supports families who have children with cancer by providing financial assistance generated through fundraising events held to raise awareness for childhood cancer. We maintain a passionate commitment to raise funds, foster community support, and promote childhood cancer awareness.
