Firefighters, active & retired calling attention to cancer in the fire service. We tweet health & safety tips from experience. Be safe out there. Code 3 for a Cure (C3FAC) has dissolved as an organization. This page is being kept here indefinitely to recognize the selfless contributions of all who became involved with C3FAC and to honor the memory of President & Founder Lorenzo Abundiz. The purpose of the Code 3 for a Cure Foundation is to:1. Provide financial assistance to firefighters (whether active or retired and whether salaried, paid call, or volunteer) across the United States who are battling cancer and facing a financial hardship. 2. Bring attention to the issue of firefighter cancer and help minimize the impacts of cancer among firefighters by providing them with support, giving encouragement, and sharing our experiences. This is achieved, in part, through the Mission of Honor and Hope. 3. Provide financial support to select nonprofit cancer organizations.
