Their current mission revolves around offering hope and assistance to children facing cancer and their families, the nonprofit said.

Although Sarah's Fight For HOPE is headquartered in the Long Valley, it provides resources to families in New Jersey that have a child enduring cancer treatment, regardless of age, from birth to 19 years old.

"Our dedication is resolute, and our aim is to inspire and engage our community to participate, increase awareness, and significantly impact the lives of children battling cancer," the nonprofit said.
