Our Mission

“Every family facing cancer deserves hope, support, and the reminder that they are not alone. Through service, compassion, and community, we strive to make that belief a reality.”

Our Mission

All For Dave Foundation is dedicated to carrying forward Dave’s lifelong commitment to “Service Above Self” by supporting individuals and families affected by cancer- with a special focus on ocular melanoma. Inspired by Dave’s 12 year fight with cancer, during which he continued leading, serving others, raising his daughter, and fundraising for families in need, we strive to ease the financial burdens of treatment, travel, prosthetic eye care, medical expenses, and other cancer-related hardships. Through every donation, fundraising event, and act of service, we honor Dave’s legacy by helping families face their journeys with strength, dignity, and hope.

"My dad believed that the true measure of a life was not what you gained, but what you gave. The All For Dave Foundation exists to carry that spirit forward—one family, one act of kindness, and one life at a time."

— Talia D’Arco
