Team Tony Medical Grant

At Team Tony, our mission is to provide 1-to-1 support for cancer fighters and caregivers. We are committed to our mandate that no one should face cancer alone. The weeks and months following a cancer diagnosis are overwhelming. Often, new medically related financial demands add to the stress being experienced by cancer fighters. We are grateful to be able to offer financial assistance for those who participate in our 1-to-1 support program through the Team Tony Cancer Foundation. This grant is allocated for expenses that have been incurred due to an individual’s cancer diagnosis, up to a maximum of $2,000 per fighter annually. It encompasses any medical cost related to treatment or recovery.

The Team Tony Cancer Foundation will provide resources and monetary support to help alleviate the financial burden of a cancer diagnosis. These items include, but are not limited to:

• Transportation and travel expenses to/from treatment
• Expenses associated with medications, testing, or direct patient care

The Medical Assistance Program specifically excludes support that may be available through alternative sources. These items include but are not limited to:

• Utilities
• Medical insurance premiums
• Rent/Mortgage payments

This financial assistance is available to any fighter who has been matched with one of Team Tony’s Teammates in our 1-to-1 support program. In order to receive funds, the fighter needs to have connected with their teammate, or with a Team Tony staff member. After having completed the application for funds, the form will be assessed and the fighter will be contacted within one week of receipt.

Once matched with your Teammate, the application for financial assistance can be obtained by sending an email to info@teamtony.org with the subject line ‘Medical Assistance Program Application Request’ or calling 941-227-4404.
