Help Families Affected by Childhood Cancer.
There are many ways to help make an impact, check out all the ways you can get involved here at AHF.
Ways to Give
When families affected by pediatric cancer come to our Education Advancement Center, we want them to feel at home. One way we do this is by collecting a variety of individually wrapped snacks for them to help themselves to.
If you would like to donate snacks, please view our Amazon wishlist and purchase items. We try to promote our families to engage in a healthier lifestyle (one of the pillars of cancer prevention) and one of the ways we do this is by prioritizing healthier snacks for our families.
If you are planning to host a snack drive, we would love to know! Please contact Camilla Kalthoff to coordinate delivery. Download this flyer to print and promote the snack drive!
*We are so grateful for every donation; however, we can only accept provide individually wrapped snacks for health and safety reasons. Additionally, we cannot accept expired foods.

The gift of stock helps families served by the Austin Hatcher Foundation and you. A gift of appreciated stock to the Austin Hatcher Foundation has two benefits: the stock owner can avoid paying capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction for the securities' fair market value. If interested in making a stock donation please contact Melanie Hammontree at melanie@hatcherfoundation.org.
You can donate in honor or memory of someone who has been impacted by cancer! Simply click the link below and make sure to select that you would like to dedicate your donation in honor or in memory of someone. We will send a personal thank you on your behalf to whoever you specify.
Giving in memory or in honor of someone is a meaningful way to remember someone's legacy or honor their fight against childhood cancer. Other ways you can give in memory or in honor is by setting up a memorial or tribute fundraising page here. With a fundraising page you can add pictures, tell their story, and send to your community to raise awareness.
Many employers offer gift matching programs that can double your donation's impact. Check with your HR department to see if your company participates. After making your donation, submit a matching gift request following your company’s process—this may involve an online form or providing your donation receipt. Your support, combined with your employer’s match, will make an even greater difference for families facing pediatric cancer.
