Heroes for Families is a non-profit organization founded to financially help families with children battling cancer, and other childhood diseases.
We founded Heroes for Families in memory of our daughter, Carissa Hansen. Carissa died May 21, 2006, following a five-year battle with a brain tumor.
Following our daughter’s death, we founded Heroes for Families as a nonprofit organization to financially help families who have children fighting cancer and other serious illnesses.
