Named after Nicholas Colby Gilbert, the Nicholas Colby Fund® [501 (c) (3) #20-3201303] since 2006 has been uplifting the spirits of children with cancer or other life threatening illnesses, creating opportunities for children and their families to experience love, hope, joy, and some fun.
The Nicholas Colby Fund® (NCF) provides a variety of targeted services designed to sustain and uplift the spirits of children diagnosed with cancer and their families. Founded on the belief in the life-affirming value of simple, compassionate gestures, the NCF delivers joy and respite to families receiving care at children's hospitals via personalized entertainment and recreational experiences that enable sick children to be, for a while, just children. From Nicholas' death the NCF was born toward Helping Children Be Children® - of all ages.
From the beginning cancer didn't take away his love for others - he would give his toys to patients who were crying and he would buy gifts for friends visiting him in the hospital. And now NCF representatives, partners, and supporters collaborate to make today and tomorrow brighter for children.
