In memory of Kevin Boeckenhauer

Kevin was a 4 year varsity swimmer who was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of his junior year.  He not only went through chemo and radiation treatments during this time, he continued to swim with his team motivating and inspiring many.  Our foundation honors Kevin’s legacy by providing funds for pediatric cancer research and helping those in need.

Kevin’s Story

Kevin was 16 when he was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of pediatric bone cancer.  Kevin would go on to fight on and off for the next 7 years.  He fought with the heart of a warrior.

Kevin always had a positive attitude and fought harder than anyone we have ever seen.  During his treatment, he promoted pediatric cancer awareness by supporting the hospital in many different public ways.

We continue his legacy with the Kevin Boeckenhauer Family Foundation.  We honor his grace, spirit, determination and compassion.  Kevin’s motto was “if there is anything I can do to help one person fight cancer, why wouldn’t I do it?”

Our Mission

Because pediatric cancer research is under-funded (less than 1% of $6.9 billion from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022 went to this research), it is our goal to pass along much needed funds to this cause.  We also support the Ronald McDonald House and provide grants to young adults fighting cancer.

Our Ask

We are a 501(c)(3) organization that generates funds from your generous donations and sponsorships.

Volunteers are also vital to help us achieve our mission.  One way to  help is by spreading awareness about our foundation and it’s cause.

Your help in expanding our reach throughout social media platforms or other means is extremely beneficial in making a difference in people’s lives.
