Sophia the Fierce Inc, is a registered 501(c)(3), founded by 9-year old angel cancer warrior Sophia Benintende. It's our mission to keep Sophia's legacy alive. We are a 100% all volunteer organization. We work to provide relief for kids who fight every day to survive. 

Even while facing her own grueling battle, Sophia was a fierce philanthropist, encouraging her parents to start a charity in her name to help her fellow warriors.  Her mission - threefold: respite, research, and relief for children battling cancer. 

Because of supporters like you, we have

• Helped more than 80 local families and caregivers

• Provided financial and travel relief for families receiving treatment

• Hosted family respite days and special experiences

• Donated $20,000 to groundbreaking pediatric cancer research at Roswell Park

Sophia’s Dream: A Place to Breathe

Sophia’s biggest dream was to build a respite home for pediatric cancer families.


Not near a hospital.

Not surrounded by machines.


But a peaceful place where families could simply be together.


A place to:


• Fish by the water

• Throw a football

• Play board games

• Roast marshmallows around a campfire

• Laugh without fear

• Rest without hospital alarms


A place where families could feel whole again — even if just for a moment.

Help Us Make It Real

With every golfer, every sponsor, and every donation, we move one step closer to making Sophia’s dream a reality.


Every dollar raised goes directly back into supporting pediatric cancer families and this mission.
