“Be the magic.” – Faris D. Virani

Since our inception in 2019, The Faris Foundation has endeavored to embody Faris’ impeccable words in all that we do. Magic, after all, is a way of being and we have embedded this ethos to the heart of our work.

Thanks to the unwavering support of our community, and the guiding light of our Chief Angel Officer, the past year was especially magical and momentous as we expanded our capacity to bring brighter days and better treatments to children with cancer.

In 2024 we saw incredible impact in each of our four program areas. From the publication of Faris Foundation-supported research in prestigious scientific journals, to transformative and deeply meaningful patient encounters with our art and music therapists; from record-breaking participation in Let There Be GOLD initiatives, to doubling the number of Good JuJu Care Packages we deliver nationwide – “be the magic” and build momentum have been our modus operandi.

Our trajectory of progress and impact has been made possible, of course, thanks to you. Thank you for joining us in “being the magic,” for striving alongside us to make “brighter days and better treatments” a reality for every single child with cancer. Until then, this sacred work continues.

Abiding hope,
