The Crim Compassion Fund has provided almost $500,000 toward financial assistance, activities and support for area children undergoing cancer treatments.

The fund was established in honor of Frank Crim, DMD, by lifelong friends Betty and Phil Bentley. The fund provides for the special needs of local children with cancer and blood disorders treated at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children’s Pediatric Oncology Clinic.

Donations to the Crim Fund, and proceeds from the annual Swing "Fore" Children with Cancer Golf Tournament, provide financial assistance, gift cards, toys and games, “No Mo Chemo” parties, Christmas gifts for patients and their siblings, Wall of Heroes portraits, college scholarships, and much more.
