The G. Fred DiBona, Jr. Memorial Foundation -- "Fred's Footsteps" -- was established in 2005 to continue the legacy of G. Fred DiBona, Jr., a Philadelphia business and civic leader whose life was cut short by cancer.

Fred's Footsteps provides direct financial support to families who have found themselves in a financial crisis due to the costs associated with caring for a critically or chronically ill child.

Our Mission...

"He was a great person and the legend will never measure up to the reality of this man…He always offered a smile, when you spoke to him, he made you feel that he was interested in what you were saying, and he left you feeling like you mattered. He was a great leader and his shoes will be a challenge to fill."
