Welcome to Griffin's Guardians

Helping brave little heroes today and
​providing HOPE for tomorrow!

​Our mission is to provide support and financial assistance to children battling cancer in Central New York, in honor of Griffin Engle.
​
We work hand in hand with Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital to stay up to date on what the patients' and families' current needs are.

In addition, we strive to bring awareness to Pediatric Cancer and to provide financial aid for funding Pediatric Cancer Research.


Watch this video to see our mission come to life, showcasing the impactful ripples Griffin's Guardians is creating in the fight against Pediatric Cancer within our community.
