In 2012, Casey Doolin, daughter of Jim and Ping Doolin, was diagnosed with leukemia during her senior year at St. Joseph’s University. She underwent extensive treatments at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) lasting more than a year. In 2013, Casey lost her battle at age 23. Knowing their daugther’s love of children, community service, and helping those less fortunate, they established the Casey Doolin Foundation in 2014, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, as a tribute in her memory.
We provide assistance to law enforcement families and caregivers with children who have cancer or other life threatening illnesses.
The Casey Doolin Foundation (CDF) was established in 2014 to honor Casey’s love of children, dedication to service, and helping those in need. These efforts are principally delivered through our Casey's Companions program.
A partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which began in 2014 with the FBI office in Philadelphia. Our volunteers assist with meals, transportation, financial and spiritual support, hospital navigation and other logistical needs while a child and their family are in the city for treatment. Casey’s Companions has grown with chapters in FBI offices in New York City (2017) and Baltimore (2018). Additional chapters are under development in other FBI offices.
The Foundation provides financial assistance to the CHOP Cancer Center, Social Worker, ChildLife, Nursing, and Music Therapy programs.
This scholarship provides financial assistance to students wishing to participate in the Appalachia Experience, community service or other immersion programs.
Established and administered by Casey’s two brothers, Tim and Will, this scholarship provides financial assistance to families with demonstrated need.
