  Our mission is to provide immediate and ongoing peer support to families of children with cancer. Our programs are designed to provide families with everyday essentials to ease the burden of hospitalization, facilitate research and communication with family and friends, brighten a sick child's room, and generally support the family through the difficult days following a cancer diagnosis.

  ABC of Westport seeks to directly impact, on an annual basis, gifted minority students through 4 years of high school and a lifetime thereafter. It is our mission to provide academically gifted, educationally disadvantaged, and highly motivated minority youth an opportunity to live in our community and to study in Westport’s highly regarded Staples High School. We seek to increase the number of well-educated minority youth capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in society.
