GMFA’S Charitable Mission

Long time GMFA board member Tony Bellarosa who recently retired after a long career at Klaussner Furniture has become GMFA’s new executive director, now a volunteer position. This allows GMFA to donate all profits from dues and events to families of children and adults suffering with cancer through the Dean Michael Clarizio Cancer Foundation.

About DMCCF: The Dean Michael Clarizio Cancer Foundation was founded by its namesake, Dean, during his personal battle with cancer in 2005. The 501(c)3 non-profit foundation is tirelessly operated by Dean’s family and friends who volunteer their time and talents in an effort to carry out his vision; helping others who face the challenges of cancer with financial, spiritual, and emotional support. Given the changing times and the rising costs of healthcare there is an astounding number of cancer patients in need of financial assistance. To help families in need to mitigate these costs, the DMCCF hosts four annual fundraising events with the 100% of the proceeds going directly to the individuals and families during their battle with cancer. With your support, we have donated over $1.4 million and set a goal to reach more than $2 million in grants over the next two years.
