Our daughter, Hailey, was just three years old when she was diagnosed with a form of inoperable brain cancer called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). There is no known cure. We are an official 501(c)(3) childhood cancer charity that is committed to funding hope to end this horrific disease and supporting the children who have been diagnosed.
EIN: 92-0449829
Our mission is to raise funds for childhood brain cancer research, with an emphasis on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), and to support children who are battling this disease.
Brain cancer is the number one cause of death by disease for children in the United States. DIPG is the deadliest form. The average survival time for children diagnosed is 9-12 months. Yet, less than .01% of total cancer research funding is dedicated to this disease.

Our Hugs from Hailey program seeks to brighten the days of children diagnosed with cancer. We send personalized care packages to children who are battling DIPG/DMG to help them #PowerUpAgainstDIPG and encourage them to keep fighting. We also send treats and toys to our local St. Jude Affiliate clinic at Huntsville Hospital to let little
Our Hugs from Hailey program seeks to brighten the days of children diagnosed with cancer. We send personalized care packages to children who are battling DIPG/DMG to help them #PowerUpAgainstDIPG and encourage them to keep fighting. We also send treats and toys to our local St. Jude Affiliate clinic at Huntsville Hospital to let little childhood cancer warriors know how special they are.
To date, we have sent 140 Hugs from Hailey packages to children battling brain cancer, primarily DIPG/DMG. We have also provided an additional 41 Hugs from Hailey to our St. Jude Affiliate Hospital here in Huntsville.

Our Hope from Hailey program raises funds to support DIPG research so that an effective treatment will be found. We have joined the DIPG/DMG Research Funding Alliance (DDRFA), in which we partner with 40+ foundations and families to leverage resources and fund critical DIPG-specific research grants.

Our Hope from Hailey program raises funds to support DIPG research so that an effective treatment will be found. We have joined the DIPG/DMG Research Funding Alliance (DDRFA), in which we partner with 40+ foundations and families to leverage resources and fund critical DIPG-specific research grants. We have established the Hailey Acevedo DIPG Research Fund at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to support their efforts at finding a cure for this disease.
We also help fund the National DIPG/DMG Brain Tumor Board, which offers referring oncologists advice from a panel of DIPG experts on the best treatment paths forward for their patient at critical junctures in a diagnosed child's journey (e.g., at diagnosis, following radiation, first progression). This advice is a free and confidential service to patient families in the United States.

Clinical trials are available to families of children who wish to pursue treatment beyond palliative radiation therapy, the current standard of care for children diagnosed with DIPG/DMG. These trials represent HOPE for children in the fight.

Thanks to grant funding from IronMountain Solutions Employee Peaks Fund, our Hops from Hailey program provides gas gift cards to families of children enrolled in clinical trials/expanded access programs to help offset the cost of travel to their child's treatment center and #fueltheirfight.

This holiday season, we invite you to sponsor a Hug from Hailey—a lovingly curated, personalized care package created for a child courageously facing DIPG or DMG, the most devastating forms of pediatric brain cancer. Each hug costs our organization $100 and is filled with comfort items chosen just for them, bringing moments of joy and relief during incredibly difficult days.
Will you help us reach our goal of sending 50 Hugs from Hailey in 2026? Your year-end gift will make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families, and it is tax-deductible.
