The Scaffidi Foundation Scholarship

  • ABOUT US

    The Scaffidi Foundation was established in 2003, in honour of two remarkable women. Norina and Cathy Scaffidi, mother and daughter, lost their battles with breast cancer in 1998 and 2002. The two women shared an amazing gift – the ability to touch people’s hearts. Both women were dedicated to helping people battling illness, Cathy through her work as a naturopath and Norina in her special role as everyone’s favourite ‘second mum’.

    WHAT WE DO

    We have been assisting families of children battling cancer in a variety of different ways for more than eight years.

    Our support is provided via:
    – The Scaffidi Foundation Scholarship to help fund primary or secondary educational fees or extra-curricular activities for a student impacted by cancer
