Recipient Application

The Michael P. Nosco Foundation, Inc. was established to provide financial assistance to families and/or individuals in need. Unfortunately, many families in our local communities cannot afford to pay the medical expenses accumulated by patients with grievous illnesses that are not covered by insurance.

It is our goal to allow families to reach their full potential in providing the utmost support in the recovery of each recipient. To help them accomplish this, our board, along with participants, family, and friends of the Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride, offers financial assistance to those who have qualified for support from the Michael P. Nosco Foundation, Inc. Since 2009, more than $1,000,000 of financial assistance has been awarded to recipients.

To apply, a family must:

  • Suffer financial hardship due to a grievous illness, primarily cancer
