Our Mission
To protect the wonder of childhood for kids facing cancer, creating spaces of joy, belonging, and hope while advancing the discoveries that make brighter tomorrows possible.
Our Vision
A world where wonder never fades, where every child can dream, play, and imagine a future free from cancer.
Our Values
We create space for dreamers, to laugh, play, and belong, even amid treatment. We unite the believers, families, doctors, and supporters that understand that kids never fight cancer alone. We honor the do-ers, who join us to create resilience with compassion. We fund research, to ensure that our values come to be truths. Happiness today becomes possibility tomorrow.
Our Purpose
We believe every child deserves to grow up full of wonder. We exist because no child should ever have to wonder if they’ll see tomorrow. Our purpose is to protect childhood itself.
2025 Impact
In 2025, the Pierce Foundation rallied our community to stand with children and families facing cancer, creating spaces of joy, belonging, and strength while investing in the discoveries that lead to better treatments and cures. Because of our donors, sponsors, and volunteers, more families felt supported, more kids experienced happiness in the middle of the fight, and more momentum was built toward hope for tomorrow.
Together, we raised over $80,000 last year and supported Camp One Step Program, nearly one hundred kids and their families, delivering Happiness Today through year-round camp experiences and planning toward grants which help advance Hope for Tomorrow, so no child has to face cancer without joy, community, and a future worth imagining.
“Old National Bank is proud to partner with the Pierce Foundation over the years. Supporting causes that invest in the future and sustainability of our communities is at the heart of what we do, and we’re honored to stand alongside the Pierce Foundation in making a meaningful impact that brings us together.”
“We’ve been honored to support The Pierce Foundation as a sponsor for many years, and it’s inspiring to see the difference they make locally. Giving back to a cause so close to home is deeply fulfilling and reinforces why community support matters.”
