The Valerie Fund is a not-for-profit organization based in Maplewood, New Jersey, founded in 1976 in memory of Valerie Goldstein. It raises funds to support comprehensive health care for children with cancer and blood disorders, integrating medical treatment with emotional and social support. The organization operates seven Valerie Fund Children's Centers across New Jersey, New York, and the Philadelphia area, forming one of the largest networks dedicated to pediatric cancer and blood disorder care and enabling treatment closer to families' homes. It emphasizes treating the whole patient and the entire family by pairing outpatient medical care with counseling, social work, psychology, and child-life services to provide ongoing, individualized care. The centers serve more than 5,000 children and families each year, delivering a broad continuum of care across a network that handles tens of thousands of patient visits annually. In 2025, the organization partnered with the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers to support its Road Ahead fundraising initiative.
