Pocono Lodge No. 780 and other Pennsylvania Freemasons throughout the area have committed to supporting PCFLV by walking in their annual 5k walk in honor of all Monroe County Pediatric Cancer Families!!
Calling all Members, Friends and Family of Freemasons, and everyone who hates cancer,

PCFLV is a 501c(3) non-profit foundation dedicated to helping children and families in the greater Lehigh Valley affected by pediatric cancer by providing free and unique programming and support during treatment, survivorship, and bereavement. They are focused on creating a loving and supportive cancer community for families whose lives have been forever changed by hearing the words, "Your child has cancer." They host events and activities to create free-of-charge opportunities for families to have fun and to find nurturing support within the pediatric cancer community. They have regular, ongoing programming like the KidKonnect program and monthly Moms’/Dads'/Parents' Nights Out, as well as much-loved annual events like Camp Smile. PCFLV makes monthly visits to the inpatient pediatric floor and the outpatient pediatric oncology clinic at Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital through our Chemo Circus and Caregiver Coffee programs, armed with an array of arts and crafts, gifts, entertainment, and food to distract children during their treatment and to create happiness and smiles. They have a bill-paying fund for families treated at LVRCH. They provide individual and specialized assistance based on the needs of our families as well, often in the form of grocery and gas gift cards to help defray the often-unrecognized costs of dealing with a pediatric cancer diagnosis. PCFLV provides housecleaning services for newly diagnosed families, a college scholarship fund for high school graduates, and much more!
Please sign up to participate or donate today! All money raised stays LOCAL to help LOCAL families!
From Pocono Lodge No. 780, the Lodges of the 50th Masonic District, and all Pennsylvania Freemasons,
Thank You for your Support!
