Our Impact
Supporting Hope: How Nebraska Communities Can Help End Childhood Cancer
Welcome to Sammy’s Superheroes Foundation, a dedicated nonprofit cancer organization based in Nebraska, where compassion turns into action in the fight against childhood cancer. Our mission is to give every young patient a brighter future by driving awareness, supporting families, and funding groundbreaking research that brings us closer to a cure.
A Mission That Matters
Childhood cancer continues to be one of the most urgent health crises for children nationwide. Yet only a small sliver of overall cancer research funding is directed toward pediatric cancer. Our foundation fills that gap by actively supporting the pediatric cancer fund and advancing innovative treatments. We believe in a future where every child diagnosed with cancer is surrounded by both hope and high-impact solutions, not just statistics.
Awareness & Advocacy: Rallying Your Support
Raising awareness for childhood cancer is a core pillar of our mission. Through public campaigns, events, and community outreach across Nebraska, we champion the golden ribbon and ensure the voices of children and families impacted by cancer are heard loud and clear. Awareness leads to action, which translates into more opportunities to donate to childhood cancer research, more resources for families in need, and stronger alliances in the fight against this disease.
Funding a Cure: Research That Saves Lives
Our efforts toward a childhood cancer cure go beyond words. We invest in research grants that target all types of pediatric cancer, because every child counts. By partnering with leading institutions, we fuel scientific breakthroughs, support clinical trials, and drive progress toward treatments that are safer, smarter, and more effective. When you donate to childhood cancer research through our organization, you’re helping turn discovery into hope, one innovation at a time.
Strong Roots in Nebraska
Here in Nebraska, we recognize the unique challenges families face when battling pediatric cancer. Our foundation was born from a family’s personal fight and has grown into a beacon of support and progress across our state. We proudly collaborate with local researchers, clinicians, and volunteers to strengthen childhood cancer awareness in our communities, closing the gap between what patients need and the funding required for vital cancer research.
How You Can Make a Difference
Every gift helps. Whether you’re supporting us through a one-time donation or becoming a monthly partner, you are standing with children battling pediatric cancer and the families who need our collective care. You can also raise awareness by sharing our story, volunteering at events, or becoming an advocate for change. Together, we’re building a network of superheroes, one child, one family, one research breakthrough at a time.
Be a Hero in the Fight Against Childhood Cancer
At Sammy’s Superheroes Foundation, we believe no one fights alone. As one of the leading foundations for childhood cancer, we unite donors, volunteers, and researchers around one mission: to raise awareness for childhood cancer and provide cancer research funding that fuels hope and progress.
Stand with us. Be part of the solution. Change a life today.
