"THIS FAMILY RALLIES"...no truer words could be spoken to describe the Corrao family, who has been tirelessly supporting P.U.N.T. Pediatric Cancer Collaborative after being served when their young warrior Mark was diagnosed with pediatric cancer in 2019 at age 5.

Mark’s great Uncle Tom Corrao —who was also battling cancer at the same time— especially never missed an opportunity to support P.U.N.T. Tom passed away in 2023 and this event has become a labor of family, love, and legacy.

Help us raise money this year for the 3rd Annual "Tom a Con"!

Here are the six distinct programs your support makes possible:

Helping Hands is a critical safety net to help families make ends meet for basic living expenses by paying bills directly to alleviate the most pressing financial hardships.

Dawson’s Locker aids with the day-to-day costs of pediatric cancer by providing gas and grocery cards and hospital parking and cafeteria vouchers. These items are distributed by our psychosocial teammates at both Oishei Children’s Hospital’s inpatient unit and Roswell Park’s pediatric clinic. This program is named in honor of Buffalo Bills Tight Ends and P.U.N.T. champion Dawson Knox.

Ultimate Compassion bereavement efforts center around an annual “Remembrance Weekend” retreat and funeral assistance for every child in our community who is lost to cancer.

Adopt-a-Family brightens the holiday season for patients and their families by fulfilling wish lists.

Fields of Dreams gives patients referred by hospital psychologists for being most in need of a morale boost a special gift, experience, or opportunity.

Game Day offers a child fighting cancer and their family a memorable opportunity to cheer on our Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in the comfort and security of a private suite.
