Who We Are

For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation (FPS) enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting respite experiences. Working with oncology professionals at over 100 hospitals and cancer centers, FPS provides transformative respite experiences to cancer patients (ages 21-55), their caregivers and their children and offers families emotional support that assists them as their journey with cancer continues. Our respite program helps families recognize it is love, not cancer, that defines them.

What We Do

For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation (FPS) enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting respite experiences.

Travel Respite Program:   The FPS Travel Respite Program, they provide adult cancer patients, their caregivers and their children with an opportunity to spend transformational time together in an environment away from their home.

Staycation Respite Program: The FPS Staycation Respite Program equips families with resources for respite, reflection and financial relief when a family is unable to travel due to advanced stage cancer. This opportunity allows families to connect and create magical moments within their own homes.

For families in the FPS program, they offer ongoing support beyond the respite that assists them as their journey with cancer continues through in-person events, online education, and access to additional resources, including bereavement care.
