About MAYA DRONCA FOUNDATION

The Maya Dronca Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in the Jacksonville/Ponte Vedra, FL area that funds pediatric cancer research and community partners in memory of Maya Alessia Dronca. The foundation was created by Dr. Roxana Dronca (M.D.), a Mayo Clinic medical oncologist, following the loss of her daughter to a pediatric brain tumor. Since launching its grantmaking activities in 2023, the foundation has focused on directing philanthropic gifts to leading research institutions and run annual public fundraising events (notably the "Dancing with the Doctors" gala) to support its mission. The organization maintains an active web presence, solicits online donations, and reports recent grant and event activity on its website.
