Founded 2009

FOTO was founded in September 2009 by Adam Fountaine, in honor of his brother Tommy. Tommy had beaten pediatric cancer, and now is a pediatric oncologist. To date, our organization has raised over $990,000 in the fight against pediatric cancer! Here, Tommy is pictured meeting our THON child Megan at FOTO's first THON in 2010!IMG 0499
