A little about the Foundation:
The David Andrew “Pooh” Maddan Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization was established to honor and celebrate a life cut much too short as a result of complications related to the treatment of osteosarcoma (cancer of the bone).
David was passionate about establishing a non-profit foundation to assist other cancer patients as soon as he completed his own treatments. The proposed foundation was to have a two-fold purpose: to provide financial assistance to young adult cancer patients, ages 18 to 35, receive the best therapy possible and to support research for targeted delivery cancer treatments, which would have fewer and less serious side effects than traditional chemotherapy. This Foundation is dedicated to realizing “Pooh’s” dream and to keeping his memory and legacy alive.
The Foundation is currently providing assistance to over 20 young adults to support them in their fight against cancer. For more information about the Foundationa nd David’s life, please visit the Foundation website at: www.poohstrong.org.
