Overview

Mission

The hang tough foundation builds community and engages families through support and meaningful experiences during their journey with childhood illness and special needs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Hang tough offers fun events that our hang tough families can enjoy together, free of charge. These are times to forget about the worries at home and just be a family additionally, hang tough foundation provides families with a parents night out. Many of our heroes require round-the- clock medical attention which does not allow much, if any, time for the caregiver to step away and breathe for a brief moment. Parents night out is a time where our parents and caregivers can drop their child(ren) with hang tough volunteers and enjoy an evening out. Volunteers consist of medically trained personnel, special education experts, individuals trained in sign language, and others who are passionate about helping our mission.
