About The
Foundation

 

The HayesTough Foundation is dedicated to providing financial support and hope to families affected by childhood cancer. Every year nearly 100,000 kids die from Childhood Cancer, which is almost 300 kids per day. Despite these numbers, childhood cancer research is vastly underfunded.

 

"I had no idea that a cancer unit even existed, let alone the fact that it was overflowing with children."

There’s strength in numbers,  you aren’t alone. The HayesArmy is here to support and lift you up!

We are on a mission to help warriors and their families battle childhood cancer. We need your help!

"Welcome to the club…I am so sorry you are now a member."

This is Krosby! She has osteosarcoma and just last Tuesday she had her rotationplasty. So glad that our ambassador Sami was able to take her a care package. Krosby, we are cheering for you, beautiful girl! Thanks for letting us shower you with love! Facebook: Krosby’s Journey #krosbysjourney #hayestough #communityambassador #carepackage
Remember that just last month was brain tumor awareness month? We told you that all the online money raised would go to a brain tumor warrior family. Meet Bruce and his beautiful family. Bruce is in the heart of his DIPG fight and after reviewing their story, we knew we needed to help. His family lives in Kentucky, but every month they have to travel to New York City for treatment. It is an incredibly difficult journey, financially and emotionally. I loved getting this thank you note in the mail from his mom. It made my day. I so hope his family can find some joy and relief with the check we sent them. They deserve all the happiness and hope in the world! @loveforbruce #dipg #childhoodcancer #hayesarmy #braintumorawareness

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s that know what it is like to create adventure for their warrior child within the 4 walls of a hospital room. #warriordad #childhoodcancer #hayestough
Steve and I had just walked in from the airport last night when there was a knock at our door. A delivery of warm, perfectly gooey, fresh cookies from @goodlycookies right to our door. The mission and devotion to cancer research of this amazing company is what I love the most. A portion of every purchase goes to Huntsman Cancer Research Hospital. But, today, in honor of Fathers Day and #hayestough, a portion of every purchase goes to the foundation! If you like cookies, which unless you have no tastebuds, that is everybody, order cookies on their app, mention this post and have freshly made cookies delivered right to your door all while helping kids fighting cancer! Win, win! I am a chocolate chip cookie girl, but you HAVE to try the raspberry white chocolate....I promise, you will thank me forever! SO good! Order some cookies for the dads in your life and say, HayesTough sent you! #goodlycookies #childhoodcancer #hayesarmy
A few weeks ago, a small business owner clear across the country reached out to me hoping to donate some inventory of headbands for our comfort kits. So incredibly thoughtful, first off and secondly, how adorable are these? This is just a glimpse at all the cuteness she sent us. Thank you @the.and.me boutique for the sweetest donation! These two are going to the hospital today to an 8 year old girl battling osteosarcoma. #hayestough #childhoodcancer #carepackage #hayesarmy
Yesterday, the STAR Act was signed into law, increasing funding for childhood cancer research. I hope one day to look back on this day and realize how pivotal it was for our children! Thank you to our government for FINALLY making our kids a priority! #STARAct #childhoodcancer #stepup
We received this message (swipe right) in our Facebook messages the other night and it brought me happy tears! Honestly, these kids and these stories make everything worth it. We are honored to send packages to everyone we can! To send a package to another warrior, go to our website and choose to sponsor a care package. Or, if you prefer to donate items for the care package, we have a list of needed items listed on the website, link in profile. #teamnaia #hayestough #hayesarmy #carepackage #noonefightsalone
See this beautiful girl? She is looking for a bone marrow match. But here is the thing, she needs a match by next week. Did you know you could be a match and not be related or even live in the same state as her? It is super easy and painless, go to www.bethematch.org to find out how to send in a cheek swab. It is free and if you aren’t her match, you could be someone’s! And if you are in Utah, there are locations across northern Utah taking swabs until 2pm today. Let’s get Ali a match!! Locations are: SLC: Lux Auto Spa, 49 E 3300 S, South Salt Lake, UT from 10 am – 2 pm Clearfield/Layton: Chancellor Gardens, 1425 S 1500 E, Clearfield, UT from 10 am – 2 pm Brigham City: Brigham City West LDS Stake, 895 N 625 W, Brigham City, UT from 3 pm – 7 pm #teamali #hayestough #bethematch
Meet Ava, her mom, Kady and I met during this cancer journey because Ava had cancer at the same time as Hayes. Her family is so inspiring. Always going on trips and adventures. Not letting cancer win. “Attitude is the difference between an ordeal and an adventure.” She reached out to me recently and told me about her “adventure” pin launch. She is releasing these pins because, “not all adventures are fun filled daring adventures to new places. Sometimes adventures can be the hard stuff we go through in life and our attitude makes all the difference in how we face the hard adventures. We hope this pin will remind you that all adventures are worth going through because all adventures, with a good attitude, make you stronger.” We are honored that proceeds of the pin go to childhood cancer and the HayesTough Foundation. Head to @tavadventures profile for a link to purchase a pin and support warriors around the world. #tavaadventures #childhoodcancer #fundraising #beapartofthegood #hayestough #adventureisoutthere
