The Faris Foundation brings brighter days and better treatments to children with cancer. We follow the very words and the “heartprint” of our Chief Angel Officer, Faris D. Virani, and we hold our work to his same high standards: to be bold, original, and transformative in all that we do.
Our work is focused in four key areas, each inspired by Faris’ own words: childhood cancer research; creative arts programs at children’s cancer centers; public engagement and awareness around childhood cancer; and care packages for children with cancer.
Childhood Cancer Research
“Mommy, cancer is not hard.”
We carefully select original research in areas where there is high need and a high potential for impact, as if our child’s life depends on it.

Creative Arts
“Art is my life.”
We bring transformative creative arts programs to children with cancer and their families. We embed art and music therapists at children’s cancer centers, host art parties, and facilitate community collaborations.

Public Awareness
“Don’t kids matter? Aren’t we important? When I grow up, I will let there be gold.”
We celebrate and honor children with cancer with our signature GOLD Celebrations at children’s cancer centers. We engage the public around childhood cancer, and raise awareness of the gold ribbon through our unique and dynamic community partnerships.
