Elena Esposito Foundation

Elena Esposito Foundation is an Italian nonprofit organization established in memory of Elena Esposito. It works to support cancer research and provide practical assistance to people affected by oncological diseases, including patients and their families. A key focus is childhood and adolescent cancer: the Foundation collaborates with the Foundation for Pediatric Oncology and supports initiatives connected with research, care and family support, including visits to the pediatric oncology ward at Rome’s Policlinico Gemelli.

The organization raises funds and awareness through sporting, cultural and educational activities. Its initiatives include the “Forino Corre” commemorative running event, tournaments, exhibitions, performances, conferences, educational projects, volunteer programs and support networks. It also produces books dedicated to Elena, with proceeds directed toward oncology departments and educational projects, and organizes fundraising events such as auctions and markets. The Foundation invites people to contribute through spontaneous donations, PayPal, membership and Italy’s 5x1000 tax allocation. Through community partnerships, events and online communication, it aims to foster solidarity, promote prevention and help advance a future of greater hope for those facing cancer.
