The Evelyn Grace Foundation (EGF) was established after our daughter, Evelyn lost her brave battle with congenital infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a rare and aggressive form of children's cancer.  

Though Evelyn’s battle with leukemia ended last year - we will fight on in her honor until the day every child is guaranteed a cure. It's one of the many things we learned from Evelyn.  Our experience in the trenches fighting along side Evelyn showed us that many forms of pediatric cancer are incurable, underfunded and too many children do not survive. 

We are focused on research for less common and less curable childhood cancers.  Infant leukemia is particularly aggressive and frequently fatal.  We want to bring awareness and assistance to the 20% of children for whom standard protocol chemotherapy and radiation is not successful.  

Mission:  The mission of the Evelyn Grace Foundation is to raise funds for infant leukemia research and advances in treatment, to raise awareness to support families with children who are battling infant or childhood leukemia and other forms of childhood cancer, and to increase awareness regarding cord blood donation.

Vision:  Most people are unaware of the number of cancers that affect our children. On the average, 46 children & adolescents are diagnosed w/cancer everyday in the US. Although strides have been made, survival rates remain very low for many of these cancers. Due to Evelyn’s age and type of leukemia at diagnosis her chance of survival was only approximately 20%. Following relapse, her survival was greatly decreased to almost nonexistent, yet we held on to hope for a miracle. Our vision for this foundation is to educate our society about how hard these children fight, even when faced with insurmountable odds, and how much research remains to be done to advance the search for a cure.

We THANK YOU for your support.
