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.
