The Lisa Ross Parker Foundation was founded in 2004 with a mission that encompasses two things most dear to Lisa: 1) Providing support for families touched by cancer, and 2) Assisting animal welfare organizations The Lisa Ross Parker Foundation strives to honor the charitable legacy of cancer victim Lisa Ross Parker by continuing to pursue her charitable passions within the meaning of section 501(c)(3), including (but not limited to) assisting and caring for adult patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other blood-related cancers, and their families. To this end, we work to ease the burden of families of cancer patients who require an extended stay at the hospital for treatment. In addition, we strive to honor Lisa's charitable legacy by assisting with charitable animal welfare and supporting other animal advocacy organizations that follow the same principles within the meaning of section 501(c)(3). To this end, we provide additional support to other charitable organizations dedicated to the protection of animals from cruelty and disease, and we provide specific assistance to animals in need of protection.
