STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The mission of Fight 4 Cure Inc is “helping one individual at a time….fostering hope for individuals affected by cancer”. We believe that our mission is fulfilled through a commitment to inclusiveness.
We believe that building and sustaining diversity requires an ongoing commitment to inclusion that is displayed within our organizational culture, values, norms and behaviors. We support diversity regardless of age, economic status, ethnicity, sex, race, religion, gender, etc. We aim to lead by example and will view and encourage diversity as a strength in the communities we serve.
