About Roc Family

Roc Solid Foundation builds hope for children fighting cancer by providing ways for them to temporarily escape the burdens of doctors’ appointments and treatments through opportunities to do what they do best-PLAY. Roc Solid provides continuous support for a child and their family beginning at the point of diagnosis.

What does Roc Solid do?

Play It Forward

Play It Forward includes the 100+ custom playsets RSF has constructed in the backyards of children fighting cancer throughout the Southeastern US, as well as room remodels and iPad projects.

Solid Support

Solid Support builds hope for families dealing with the unimaginable circumstance of their child being diagnosed with cancer. Roc Solid provides these families with Ready Bags filled with essential personal items when they learn their child has cancer for an immediate stay in a hospital.

While the patient is going through treatment the families have difficulties finding ways to entertain everyone while in the hospital. Families feel isolated and need of a supportive network.
