Pinky Swear Foundation

Family support-at Pinky Swear Foundation, we understand that the financial and emotional burdens of childhood cancer can be overwhelming for families. That's why we provide direct financial aid for basic needs, stable housing, reliable transportation, groceries, payments for bills, and memorable experiences that create emotional support for families. We also provide convenient, stocked food pantries in four hospitals to reduce expenses for parents and family members who want to stay with their sick child.last year, we supported more than 2,000 families across our programs. We distributed more than 1,250 orange envelopes and provided more than $1.3 million in financial assistance through the all-star fund. We also provided access to our pantries to 6,900 individuals.

Student development-pinky Swear Foundation encourages personal development of young leaders through goal setting and entrepreneurship while helping kids with cancer. We have the Pinky Swear pack youth program that empowers students to participate in childhood cancer awareness and support initiatives throughout the school year. Through these youth development activities, we aim to inspire the servant-leadership mentality inspired by the original Pinky Swear promise.

Education/awareness-we are passionately committed to increasing the awareness and understanding of childhood cancer and its impact on families. By sharing stories, photos, and videos featuring Pinky Swear all-stars (kids with cancer), the financial and emotional hardships that real families face become tangible and relatable. We utilize a mix of communication channels to demonstrate the impact Pinky Swear Foundation has on our all-star families and how others can help.
