Joseph’s
Warriors is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity corporation formed in memory of
Joseph Patrick Fleming. The
mission/purpose of Joseph’s Warriors is to promote childhood cancer awareness,
to promote childhood cancer research, and to raise funds to be distributed as
financial assistance to families of children undergoing cancer treatment in the
Gulf Coast area. The Joseph’s Warriors
charity is managed by a Board of Directions, led by President Kellie Price
(Joseph’s Mother).
Joseph
Fleming was diagnosed with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (liver cancer) on July 22,
2016 and passed away October 30, 2016. .
During
Joseph’s journey, his family was faced with startling facts regarding the lack
of available specialized treatments for children’s cancer. The
goals of the charity Joseph’s Warriors include raising funds to be distributed
as financial assistance to families of children battling cancer at Texas
Children’s Hospital and other local hospitals.
Joseph’s Warriors plans to deliver “comfort quilts” (crib size to small
twin) along with gift cards for parking and gift cards for food delivery to each
child on the cancer floor at Texas Children’s Hospital on Joseph’s birthday and
on Joseph’s diagnosis date each year. Joseph’s Warriors also plans to have several
fundraising events each year including an annual baseball tournament in
Joseph’s honor.
