The mission of the Code 3 for a Cure Foundation is to:

1. Provide financial assistance to firefighters (whether active or retired and whether salaried, paid call, or volunteer) across the United States who are battling cancer and facing a financial hardship.

2. Bring attention to the issue of firefighter cancer and help minimize the impacts of cancer among firefighters by providing them with support, giving encouragement, and sharing our experiences. This is achieved, in part, through the Annual Mission of Honor and Hope. (The Foundation does not provide medical advice.)

3. Provide financial support to select U.S. nonprofit cancer organizations.
