The Evelyn Balash Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families facing the unimaginable—childhood cancer. Founded in honor of Evelyn Balash, a brave little girl who battled leukemia with strength and grace, our mission is to ease the emotional and financial burdens families experience during and after pediatric cancer treatment.

Evelyn is turning 5 on June 13 — a milestone birthday that means so much to our family. Just over two years ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia at only 2½. She’s fought bravely through countless treatments, and this year we get to celebrate not only her life, but her strength, joy, and the hope she brings to so many.

In honor of her birthday, we’re asking you to help us give back through the Evelyn Balash Foundation — created in Evelyn’s name to help other families navigating childhood cancer. Instead of gifts, we’re raising $5,000 in honor of her 5th birthday to support:

Emergency financial relief for families in treatment
Emotional support programs for parents and siblings
Online connection and care communities

Every $5, $50, or $500 helps give another family what they need most: hope.

🎁 Celebrate Evelyn’s birthday with a gift that gives back. Thank you for helping make her birthday one that changes lives.
