A Message From Talia!

Thank you for being here.

Whether you found us through a friend, a family member, social media, or simply by sharing our passion for helping others, we are grateful you’ve joined us at the beginning of this journey.

The All For Dave Foundation was created in honor of my father, Dave, who passed away in February 2025 after a courageous 12-year battle with ocular melanoma. Dave was known for his kindness, generosity, leadership, unwavering faith, and commitment to helping others. He lived by the principle of “Service Above Self,” always putting the needs of others before his own and finding ways to make a difference in the lives of those around him.

As his daughter, I had the privilege of witnessing that example every day. He was my hero, my best friend, and the person who shaped me into who I am today. Through the challenges our family faced during his cancer journey, my family witnessed firsthand the emotional, physical, and financial burdens that so many families experience. Those experiences inspired my mom and I to create this foundation as a way to honor his legacy and support others facing similar challenges.

Our mission is simple: to help individuals and families affected by cancer through compassion, community support, and acts of generosity. As we grow, we hope to provide meaningful assistance for travel expenses, treatment-related costs, prosthetic eye care, clinical trials, medical bills, and other hardships that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. We are also committed to raising awareness about ocular melanoma and building a community where families feel supported, encouraged, and never alone.

We are still in the early stages of building something meaningful, and we are excited to have you alongside us. Every person who follows our journey, shares our story, and believes in our mission helps carry Dave's legacy forward.

Thank you for being part of the All For Dave Foundation family.

Together, we can continue Dave's legacy of compassion, service, and hope—one family, one act of kindness, and one community at a time.

With gratitude,

Talia D'Arco
