Since 1986, the Randazzo Foundation has enhanced the quality of cancer care at The New York Hospital of Queens by bringing hope, inspiration and physical and emotional comfort to those battling this disease.

Fueled by the love they still share for their late son, Frank Randazzo Jr., who died of cancer at the age of 25, the Randazzo family has sought ways to the lighten the burden of individuals with cancer, and for their families.

Over the years, the Randazzos have directed their energies into raising funds and applying innovative ideas to help cancer patients. By organizing and sponsoring benefits including dinner dance balls, golf outings and a day at the races, the Randazzo commitment to fundraising activities for the medical oncology programs at NYHQ has been affirmed time and again.

Since its inception, the Foundation has helped NYHQ to improve treatment areas for cancer patients, support a van to transport patients and fund community education workshops. Community programs underwritten by the Foundation increase the availability and affordability of care for many individuals.

Randazzo Foundation contributions to NYHQ include:

A donation which helped establish the Frank Randazzo Jr. Memorial Unit, a four-bed treatment area and lounge for cancer patients
Initial funding for NYHQ's Frank Randazzo Jr. Cell Biology Laboratory, in which the medical center conducts research to study the fundamental mechanisms of cancer- how cancer works and the most effective treatments to combat the disease
Purchase of vans to provide transportation to and from the hospital for patients receiving outpatient treatment
Funding for the "Coping at Home" workshop in basic home care developed by NYHQ for family or friends who care fort patients at home
