OUR MISSION
The CarsonStrong Foundation is committed to improving the lives of children and families impacted by cancer and other significant life challenges.
Our Story
The CarsonStrong Foundation was established in 2017 by the Higgins family, one year after they lost their son and brother, Carson. After a courageous battle with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, Carson passed away at the age of 12 while on his “Trip of a Lifetime” with his family. His spirit of generosity and resilience continues to inspire our mission to support children and families affected by cancer and other significant life challenges.
Since its inception, The CarsonStrong Foundation has raised over $1.5 million to fund programs that provide respite, encouragement, and joy. The Gift of Time Together program has helped more than 70 families from 20 states take a break from treatment to create cherished memories. The CarsonStrong Foundation also invests in pioneering medical technologies, such as Augment Therapy, awards scholarships to students who embody Carson’s legacy, and supports holistic initiatives that uplift children and families in need.
The time you have together means the most. Give families battling cancer that gift.
Physical therapy can be one of the most important keys to recovery for children. Augment therapy is a way of making the process fun and consistent.
Carson’s Champions Monthly Giving Club recognizes our generous donors who make the work we do at the CarsonStrong Foundation possible.
