WHY: For the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to fund research that will lead to the elimination of childhood cancer worldwide.
For the past 18 years, the Foundation has funded more than $3.8 million to researchers. For the first 15 years, the Foundation funded seed grants at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa, All Children’s Research Institute in St. Petersburg, the University of Florida in Gainesville, and the University of Miami-School of Medicine. About The Famunda All Stars The Famunda All-Stars have been together since 2005, and feature some of the sweetest voices in the Tampa Bay area. The Famunda’s are about Fun and Fund Raising.
The group’s pet cause is The Pediatric Cancer Foundation, and The Famunda’s raise money for it every year at Koncert 4 Kiddz. The fourth one is coming in February, 2010. The group was founded by Steve & Kathy Tidler, Tedd Webb, Nicole Valentin and Frank Garcia. The group was joined by Gary Kyle and Sergio Rosello and soon became a Saturday night event at Tedd’s Place.
