Background of the Austin Hatcher Foundation: The experience of childhood cancer goes beyond diagnosis and affects every family member differently. The Austin Hatcher Foundation is here to help erase the effects of pediatric cancer, for the entire family at no cost to them. All the money raised through fundraisers and events like the signature Bubbles of Fun run 5K, 10K, and 1-Mile Fun Run! During and after treatment, AHF is here to provide comprehensive coordinated care through every step of a family’s recovery journey. Services provide children and families with the tools to cope in the present and thrive in the future after childhood cancer. Whether it’s grief counseling, occupational therapy, a parents day out, sibling tutoring, family counseling, trauma therapy or a night of community with others who have been through a similar story, Austin Hatcher Foundation is here for whatever a family may need along their journey and beyond. Learn more about the Foundation’s story and services at hatcherfoundation.org.

Personal Fundraising: Without generous contributions from our supporters, the Austin Hatcher Foundation would not be able to provide cost-free essential services to children and families facing pediatric cancer. Join us in setting up a Personal Fundraising page to raise funds for a brighter future! Follow the Personal Fundraising link to create and personalize your own page. Links can then be shared on your social media or with friends and family to directly impact children and families facing pediatric cancer.
